Hellow! I have searched for some theory about linear system in polar coordinates, unfortunately, I not found anything... exist some theory, some book, anything about this topic for study? Thanks!

Give an example of what you mean by "linear system in polar coordinates". Are you talking about a set of simultaneous linear equations? - or a system of linear differential equations?
 
I think in something like:
\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12}\\ a_{21} & a_{22}\\ \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} r\\ \theta\\ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} b_{1}\\ b_{2}\\ \end{bmatrix}
Where a_ij can be a simple coeficient or a polynomial of kind aD³+bD²+cD+d (where D is the derivative operator) and b_i a simple coeficient.

But using [r θ] instead of use [x y].

In that equation, I don't understand what function D would operate upon? Do we have funtions r = r(t), \theta = \theta(t) and D = \frac{d}{dt} ?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
