My supervisor wants me to do the plot in cartesian coordinates now, but I don't think it's as simple as typing coords=spherical into the code. I am meant to use the following equations to do this

x0=r0sinθ0cosΦ0

y0=r0sinθ0sinΦ0

z0=r0cosθ0

 

x=rsinθ0 cosΦ0

y=rsinθ0 sinΦ0

z=rcosθ0

During expansion, only r varies, and θ, and Φ stay constant obviously.

I've literally typed the equations into Maple, with Φ0, θrepresented by the iterations i*Pi, and j*Pi and tried to plot x,y and z but Maple keeps refusing to produce any plot.
