Book for Coordinate Systems

[jokerboy]

Can anyone suggest me a good book for comprehensive learning of different coordinate systems- namely->

 

1. Cartesian

2. cylindrical

3. spherical

4. Radial

5. Curved Coordinate systems

Any of the classic handbooks will list a full description of the coordinate systems -- the transformation equations and the metric, etc. I have Schaum's Outlines Mathematicql Handbook by Murray R. Spiegel that is literally falling apart I use it so often. I count 12 different coordinate systems listed. MathWorld (http://www.mathworld.com) will have much if not all the same information as the handbook.

 

I don't know if that is as "comprehensive learning" as you want, but it is a good place to start.
