In polar coordinates, a complex number *z* is defined by the modulus *r* and the phase angle *phi*. The modulus *r* is the distance from *z* to the origin, while the phase *phi* is the counterclockwise -angle from the positive x-axis to the line segment that joins the -origin to *z*. +angle, measured in radians, from the positive x-axis to the line +segment that joins the origin to *z*. The following functions can be used to convert from the native rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates and back.
