Spherical Coordinates

Spherical coordinates provide a way to specify a point's position in 3D space using three values: radius (distance from the origin), inclination (angle from the vertical axis), and azimuth (angle around the vertical axis). Imagine a point on a globe: the radius is how far it is from the center, the inclination is like how far up or down it is from the equator, and the azimuth is its direction around the poles. This system is especially useful for problems involving spheres or circular symmetry, simplifying calculations that are complex in regular Cartesian coordinates.
