Flags Used:
None.
Remarks:
The terms "polar" and "rectangular," which refer to two–dimensional systems, are
used instead of the proper three–dimensional terms of "spherical" and
"Cartesian." This stretch of terminology allows the labels to be associated with
their function without confusing conflicts. For instance, if LBL C had been
associated with Cartesian coordinate input, it would not have been available for
cross product.
Program Instructions:
1. Key in the program routines; press
2. If your vector is in rectangular form, press
vector is in polar form, press
