In this section, we look at two different ways of describing the location of points in space, both of them based on extensions of polar coordinates.

The volume element \ (dv) in spherical coordinates is \ (dv = \rho^2 \sin (\phi) \, d\rho \, d\theta \, d\phi\text {. }) thus, a triple integral \ (\iiint_s f (x,y,z) \, da) can be evaluated as the iterated.

As the name suggests,.

Dv = 2 sin.

    So our equation becomes z = r.
