angle in polar or spherical coordinate system

The mathematics convention. Spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) as typically used: radial distance r, azimuthal angle θ, and polar angle φ.

Defining Formula: $θ \equiv \arctan (\frac{y}{x})$
$θ$ symbol represents polar angle
$x$ symbol represents Cartesian coordinate x
$y$ symbol represents Cartesian coordinate y
