I am attempting to teach myself all the necessary prerequisites of calculus, and attain mastery of them. This has been my goal for quite some time, and recently, I encountered a topic I was unfamiliar with (listed under precalculus).
This topic of interest is spherical and cylindrical coordinates, but I can't seem to find any explanations that are not overly technical. They seem to be of a multivariable calculus level, which is way over my head. I only want to teach myself the prerequisites of differential and integral calculus.
Are there any non technical guides on spherical and cylindrical coordinates of precalculus level? Is learning spherical and cylindrical coordinates an absolute must for differential/integral calculus? If not, then I'll probably tackle it later, as from what I can ascertain, the level of difficulty required is considerably higher than that of precalculus topics.
Thank you in advance.
