It is particularly suitable for systems with spherical - symmetry or functions given in terms of these coordinates. - Infinitesimal distance: <br/> + symmetry or functions given in terms of these coordinates. <br/> + Infinitesimal distance: $$ds^2 =r^2 (\sin^2 \theta d\phi^2 + d\theta^2) + dr^2 .$$ Infinitesimal volume: $$dV = r^2 \sin(\theta) dr d\theta d\varphi.$$
