Here is my understanding, Given a unit vector A = x1,y1,z1 in cartesian, to transform into cylindrical just use the transform A . \rho A . \phi Z(cartesian)=Z(cylindrical) my question is, since x . \rho = cos\phi, is the \phi that I am supposed to use the tan^-1(y1/X1)? If this is...

So I'm trying to find out what the procedure is to convert a cartesian unit vector to a cylindrical unit vector. Any thoughts?
