A line moving so that it is always parallel to a fixedplane, 3/, and always intersects two fixed skew lines, neitherof which is parallel to 3f, generates a hyperbolic this theorem when M is the (x, 2;)-plane and the two fixedlines are the last two of the three in Ex. 21. CHAPTER XXIV SPHERICAL AND CYLINDRICAL OF COORDINATES TRANS-. 1. Spherical Coordinates. Griven a point 0, a ray OA issu-ing from 0, and a half-plane m bounded by the line of the ray OA. Let P be any point of space. Join Pto 0 and construct the half-plane, v, deter-mined by OA and OP. Denote the distanceOP by r, the angle AOP by <^, and the anglefrom the half-plane m to the half-plane p by (?•, <^, 0) are the spherical coordinates ofthe point P. For a given value, ?o) of the radius vector r,the point P lies on a sphere whose center isat 0 and whose radius is r = ro. The angle0 is the longitude of P, measured from theprime meridian m, and the angle <^ is thecolatitude (complement of the latitude), at least for a point Pon the upper half of the sphere. The radius vector r is, by definition, positive or zero. Thecolatitude shall be restricted to values between 0 and tt in-clusive : 0 < <^ < TT. The longitude 9 shall be unrestricted ; itshall be taken as positive if measured in the dire
