Griffiths

>To the layman, the philosopher, or the classical physicist, a statement of the form “this particle doesn’t have a well-defined position” (or momentum, or x-component of spin angular momentum, or whatever) sounds vague, incompetent, or (worst of all) profound. It is none of these. But its precise meaning is, I think, almost impossible to convey to anyone who has not studied quantum mechanics in some depth. If you find your own comprehension slipping, from time to time (if you don’t, you probably haven’t understood the problem), come back to the spin-1/2 system: It is the simplest and cleanest context for thinking through the conceptual paradoxes of quantum mechanics.

There's a coordinate system for everything. The trick is to use one that has the same symmetry as the system you are studying. For a spherical system, use spherical coorinates. You can define arbitrarily complicated coordinates, the penalty of which is needing to carry around the unit vectors. It's typically worth it though.

"Calculus and Analytic Geometry", by George Thomas, has a reference to "whales" in its index. Upon turning to the indicated page, you are met with pic related.
