For example: everyone is familiar with '''(x, y)'''. Therefore a common mistake is to think that radius goes along '''x''' and angle is somewhere along '''y'''. Suppose we have (2, 45°). A clueless person thinks x = 2 and y = 45. I have to admit here that I made this mistake and more than once. I think that the origin of this mistake is, ironically, the fact that, a lot of times, polar c..."
