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

Defining Formula: $\theta \equiv \arctan \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)$

$\theta$ symbol represents polar angle

$x$ symbol represents Cartesian coordinate x

$y$ symbol represents Cartesian coordinate y
