Bignose Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Any of the classic handbooks will list a full description of the coordinate systems -- the transformation equations and the metric, etc. I have Schaum's Outlines Mathematicql Handbook by Murray R. Spiegel that is literally falling apart I use it so often. I count 12 different coordinate systems listed. MathWorld (http://www.mathworld.com) will have much if not all the same information as the handbook. I don't know if that is as "comprehensive learning" as you want, but it is a good place to start.
