of the point M Usually one says that the point M has the coordinates (x, y, z), and the notation M (x, y, z) is used.
To each point M of three-dimensional space one can assign its position vector The directed segment −−→ OM is called the position vector of the point M The position vector
determines the vector r (r = −−→ OM ) whose coordinates are its projections on the axes OX,
OY , and OZ, respectively Obviously, the triple (x, y, z) of numbers can be called the point M whose coordinates are these numbers, or the position vector −−→ OMwhose projections
are these numbers An arbitrary vector (x, y, z) can be represented as
(x, y, z) = xi + yj + zk, (4.5.2.2)

4.5.2-2 Transformation of Cartesian coordinates under parallel translation of axes
Suppose that two rectangular Cartesian coordinate systems OXY Z and $ O $ X $ Y $ Z are given and the first system can be made to coincide with the second system by translating the
origin O of the first system to the origin $ Oof the second system Under this translation the axes preserve their direction (the respective axes of the systems are parallel), and the origin
moves by x0in the direction of the axis OX, by y0in the direction of the axis OY , and by z0
in the direction of the axis OZ Obviously, the point $ O in the coordinate system OXY Z has the coordinates (x0, y0, z0)
An arbitrary point M has coordinates (x, y, z) in the system OXY Z and coordinates ( ˆx, ˆy, ˆz) in the system $ O $ X $ Y $ Z The transformation of rectangular Cartesian coordinates by the parallel translation of axes is determined by the formulas
x = ˆx + x0,
y = ˆy + y0,

system around the point O.
An arbitrary point M has coordinates (x, y, z) in the system OXY Z and coordinates ( ˆx, ˆy, ˆz) in the system O $ X $ Y $ Z If the axis O $ X has the direction cosines e11, e21, e31, the
axis O $ Y has the direction cosines e12, e22, e32, and the axis O $ Z has the direction cosines
e13, e23, e33in the coordinate system OXY Z, then the axis OX has the direction cosines

Suppose that two rectangular Cartesian coordinate systems OXY Z and $ O $ X $ Y $ Z are given and the first system can be made to coincide with the second system by translating the origin
O(0,0,0) of the first system to the origin $O (x0, y0, z0) of the second system, and then by rotating the first system around the point $O(see Paragraphs 4.5.1-2 and 4.5.1-3)
An arbitrary point M has coordinates (x, y, z) in the system OXY Z and coordinates ( ˆx, ˆy, ˆz) in the system $ O $ X $ Y $ Z The transformation of rectangular Cartesian coordinates by the parallel translation and the rotation of axes is determined by the formulas

y = e21ˆx + e22ˆy + e23ˆz + y0,
z = e31ˆx + e32ˆy + e33ˆz + z0,

4.5.2-5 Cylindrical and spherical coordinates
A more general curvilinear coordinate system is obtained if one introduces three families
of coordinate surfaces such that exactly one surface of each family passes through each point of space The position of a point in such a system is determined by the values of the parameters of the coordinate surfaces passing through this point The most commonly used curvilinear coordinate systems (cylindrical and spherical) are described below
The cylindrical coordinates of a point M are defined as the polar coordinates ρ and ϕ (see Paragraph 4.1.2-5) of the projection of M onto the base plane (usually OXY ) and the distance (usually z) from M to the base plane, which is called the applicate (see Fig 4.31a).
To be definite, one usually assumes that0< ϕ≤ 2π or –π < ϕ≤π For cylindrical coordinates,
the coordinate surfaces are the planes z = const perpendicular to the axis OZ, the half-planes
ϕ = const bounded by the axis OZ, and the cylindrical surfaces ρ = const with axis OZ.
The coordinate surfaces intersect in the coordinate lines

Figure 4.31 Point in cylindrical (a) and spherical (b) coordinates.
Trang 5The spherical (polar) coordinates are defined as the length r = |OM −−→| of the radius
vector, the longitude ϕ, and the polar distance θ, called the latitude (see Fig 4.31b) To be
definite, one usually assumes that0< ϕ ≤ 2π,0 ≤ θ ≤π or –π < ϕ≤ π, and 0 ≤θ≤ π
For spherical coordinates, the coordinate surfaces are the spheres r = const centered at the origin, the half-planes ϕ = const bounded by the axis OZ, and the cones θ = const with vertex O and axis OZ The coordinate surfaces intersect in the coordinate lines.
4.5.2-6 Relationship between Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates
Let M be an arbitrary point in space with rectangular Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z), cylin-drical coordinates (ρ, ϕ, z), and spherical coordinates (r, ϕ, θ) The formulas of transition
from the cylindrical coordinate system to the Cartesian coordinate system and vice versa have the form
x = ρ cos ϕ,
y = ρ sin ϕ,
z = z,
or
x2+ y2,
tan ϕ = y/x,
z = z,
(4.5.2.14)
where the polar angle ϕ is taken with regard to the quadrant in which the projection of the point M onto the base plane lies The formulas of transition from the spherical coordinate
system to the Cartesian coordinate system and vice versa have the form
x = r sin θ cos ϕ,
y = r sin θ sin ϕ,
z = r cos θ,
or
x2+ y2+ z2,
tan ϕ = y/x, tan θ =
x2+ y2/z,
(4.5.2.15)
where the angle ϕ is determined from the same considerations as in the case of cylindrical
coordinates
4.5.2-7 Surfaces and curves in space
A surface in space determined by an equation in some coordinate system is the locus of
points in space whose coordinates satisfy this equation
An equation of a surface in space in a given coordinate system is an equation with three
variables satisfied by the coordinates of points lying on the surface and not satisfied by the coordinates of points that do not lie on the surface
The coordinates of an arbitrary point of the surface occurring in the equation of the
surface are called the current coordinates.
Example 1 The equation
(x – x0 )2+ (y – y0 )2+ (z – z0 )2= r2 defines the sphere of radius r centered at the point (x0, y0, z0), i.e., the locus of points lying at the distance r from the point (x0, y0, z0).
Example 2 The equation x2+ y2+ (z –1 )2= 0 determines the single point with coordinates ( 0 , 0 , 1 ).
Example 3 The equation x2+ y2+ z2+ 1 = 0does not have solutions for any real x, y, and z.
In the general case, the equation of a surface in the Cartesian coordinate system OXY Z
can be written as
F (x, y, z) =0 (4.5.2.16)
Trang 6On the other hand, a surface (continuous surface) can be defined parametrically; i.e., a
surface is defined as the set of points whose coordinates satisfy the system of parametric
equations
x = x(u, v), y = y(u, v), z = z(u, v) (4.5.2.17)
for appropriate values of the parameters u and v.
In spatial analytic geometry, each curve is treated as the intersection of two surfaces and hence is defined by a system of two equations
F (x, y, z) =0, G (x, y, z) =0 (4.5.2.18)
On the other hand, each curve (continuous curve) can be defined parametrically; i.e., a curve
is defined as the set of points whose coordinates satisfy the system of parametric equations
x = x(t), y = y(t), z = z(t) or r = r(t) (–∞≤t1 ≤t≤t2 ≤∞) (4.5.2.19)
4.5.3 Vectors Products of Vectors
4.5.3-1 Scalar product of two vectors
The scalar product of two vectors is defined as the product of their absolute values times
the cosine of the angle between the vectors (see Fig 4.32),
a⋅b =|a||b|cos ϕ. (4.5.3.1)
If the angle between vectors a and b is acute, then a⋅b >0; if the angle is obtuse, then
a⋅b <0; if the angle is right, then a⋅b =0 Taking into account (4.5.1.1), we can write the scalar product as
a⋅b =|a||b|cos ϕ =|a|pra b =|b|prb a. (4.5.3.2)
Remark. The scalar product of a vector a by a vector b is also denoted by (a, b) or ab.

Properties of scalar product:
1 a⋅b = b⋅a (commutativity).
2 a⋅(b + c) = a⋅b + a⋅c (distributivity with respect to addition of vectors) This property
holds for any number of summands
3 If vectors a and b are collinear, then a⋅b = |a||b| (The sign + is taken if the vectors a and b have the same sense, and the sign – is taken if the senses are opposite.)
4 (λa)⋅b = λ(a⋅b) (associativity with respect to a scalar factor).
5 a⋅a =|a|2 The scalar product a⋅a is denoted by a2(the scalar square of the vector a).
Trang 76 The length of a vector is expressed via the scalar product by
|a|=√

7 Two nonzero vectors a and b are perpendicular if and only if ab =0
8 The scalar products of basis vectors are
i⋅j = i⋅k = j⋅k =0, i⋅i = j⋅j = k⋅k =1
9 If vectors are given by their coordinates, a = (a x , a y , a z ) and b = (b x , b y , b z), then
a⋅b = (a x i + a y j + a z j)(b x i + b y j + b z j) = a x b x + a y b y + a z b z. (4.5.3.4)

|a⋅b| ≤ |a||b|

|a + b| ≤ |a|+|b|
4.5.3-2 Cross product of two vectors
The cross product of a vector a by a vector b is defined as the vector c (see Fig 4.33)
satisfying the following three conditions:
1 Its absolute value is equal to the area of the parallelogram spanned by the vectors a and
b; i.e.,
|c|=|a×b|=|a||b|sin ϕ. (4.5.3.5)
2 It is perpendicular to the plane of the parallelogram; i.e., c⊥a and c⊥b.
3 The vectors a, b, and c form a right-handed trihedral; i.e., the vector c points to the side
from which the sense of the shortest rotation from a to b is anticlockwise.
Figure 4.33 Cross product of two vectors.
Remark 1. The cross product of a vector a by a vector b is also denoted by c = [a, b].
Remark 2. If vectors a and b are collinear, then the parallelogram OADB is degenerate and should be
assigned the zero area Hence the cross product of collinear vectors is defined to be the zero vector whose direction is arbitrary.
Properties of cross product:
1 a×b = –b×a (anticommutativity).
2 a×(b + c) = a×b + a×c (distributivity with respect to the addition of vectors) This
