Mapping activation of resources among upper division physics students in non-Cartesian coordinate systems: A case study

An essential skill for success in upper-division physics curricula is the ability to work with and apply mathematical and physical concepts through Cartesian and non-Cartesian coordinate systems. These skills are most notably necessary in electricity and magnetism, wherein students must build and so...
