+* Disclaimer
+This site as of now just a technology demonstration and its claims
+should not be taken as true (even though I myself am pretty confident
+they are)
+* Coordinate transformations
+\begin{align*}
+x &= r \cos\varphi\\
+y &= r \sin\varphi\\
+z &= z
+\end{align*}
+
+* Local unit vectors
+\begin{align*}
+\unitv{r} &= \cos\theta \unitv{x} + \sin\theta \unitv{y}\\
+\unitv{\theta} &= -\sin\theta \unitv{x} + \cos\theta \unitv{y}\\
+\unitv{z} &= \unitv{z}
+\end{align*}
+* Kinematic in cylindrical coordinates
+** Time derivatives of the local unit vectors
+\begin{align*}
+\deriv{\unitv{r}}{t} &= \dot{\theta}\unitv{\theta}\\
+\deriv{\unitv{\theta}}{t} &= -\dot{\theta}\unitv{r}\\
+\deriv{\unitv{z}}{t} &= 0
+\end{align*}
+** Position vector and its time derivatives
+\begin{align*}
+\bm{r} &= r\unitv{r} + z\unitv{z}\\
+\bm{v} &= \dot{r}\unitv{r} + r\dot\theta\unitv{\theta} + \dot{z}\unitv{z}\\
+\bm{a} &= \left(\ddot{r}-r\dot{\theta}^2\right)\unitv{r} + \left(2\dot{r}\dot{\theta}+r\ddot{\theta}\right)\unitv{\theta} + \ddot{z}\unitv{z}
+\end{align*}
