Hey everyone,

I am looking to learn how to use toroidal coordinates, does anyone have any good resources that I can use to figure them out?

 

I can visualize cartesian, cylindrical, and speherical coordinates. I cannot picture how to formulate torroidal coordinates.

Google/Wiki seldom fail to provide a starting point
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toroidal_coordinates

 

Find a copy of the Morse & Feshbach book on Theoretical Physics (volume 1). They gave nice stereographs of the different coordinate systems (and encourage you to learn how to be able to look at a stereograph without using an optical viewer, as it's easy once learned). I haven't seen that book for 40 years, but they may have given examples such as separating Laplace's equation or somesuch in each of the different coordinate systems.

Edit: check Papabravo's link to wikipedia, as it outlines what I suggested...
