Question: How do i best work with Polar vectors in Maple?

Hello,

I’m currently a student working with vectors as part of my electrical AC calculations. Up until now, I’ve been using GeoGebra to add and plot vectors, but I’m trying to transition fully to Maple, since I already use it for everything else in my studies.

All of my assignments are either given in — or require answers in — polar form (magnitude and angle), so I would really like to work directly in polar coordinates without converting everything to Cartesian and back.

I’ve already tried to figure this out on my own, but so far, I’ve only been able to make it work using Cartesian notation. I’ve attached a PDF with a typical example of the kind of tasks I work on, in case that helps clarify my needs.

Could you guide me on how to best set up and work with polar vectors in Maple — including how to define, add, and plot them directly in polar notation?
