Newton ... mentioned polar coordinates as one of eight coordinate systems suitable for describing spiral curves. But it was Newton's contemporary Jakob Bernoulli ... who first made extensive use of polar coordinates. Bernoulli's first task was to formulate the properties of various curves - their slopes, curvatures, length of arc, area and so on- in terms of polar coordinates. 3, record 3, English, - polar%20coordinates
