It's very delicate that with this kind of topic you use the dot to indicate a product because it could lead to a mistake. It could stand for the dot product. Spherical coordinates, together with cylindrical coordinates are widely used in vector calculus, differential geometry, continuum mechanics, the kind of mathematics where the dot product is law.
None, it's just a convention. Mathematicians and Physicists have not reached an agreement on how to label the spherical coordinates. Some use Phi and others use Theta for the same orientation. There's no rule unless you have a classical textbook on a very specific domain.
even 7 years after the upload it's still very helpful. Thanks a lot!
Dude your honestly the best. Much love

Thank you very much
looking for the future videos
what will be the angle between them if we take dot product of both coordinate systems..?
Thanks man! It wasn't hard but it helped!
and about unit vectors conversion?
In my text book z=rcos(thita) not phy which one is wrong

but i think the order is important to verify the right hand rule so i think in the orderd pair in the video should be (row , phi ,theta )
Thanks a lot.. Really helpful.. 😊
Example videos ??
Nice video
Thank you
thanks king
Thks!
v helpful

Here in Australia, we say phi the same way one would pronounce "phy."
I’m Canadian but my Egyptian professor says Phy lol
