Cylindrical Coordinates

In this lab we will study surfaces in cylindrical coordinates and their tangent planes.

Objectives of the lab

The objective of this lab is to generate surfaces in cylindrical coordinates, compute tangent planes to these surfaces, and to gain experience thinking in curvilinear coordinates.

You will need to invoke Maple for this lab.
