Cylindrical coordinates use three mutually perpendicular unit vectors and surfaces to describe a point in three-dimensional space, including its radial distance from the z-axis, angular position in the xy-plane, and height along the z-axis. The cross product of two vectors produces a third vector perpendicular to both, and the document discusses transforming between cylindrical and Cartesian coordinate systems.
