* ''R'' = ''R<sub>0</sub>'' + ''r'' cos ''&theta;'', and
* ''R'' = ''R<sub>0</sub>'' + ''r'' cos ''&theta;'', and
* ''Z'' = ''r'' sin ''&theta;''
* ''Z'' = ''r'' sin ''&theta;''
(''R<sub>0</sub>'' corresponding to the axis of the torus)
(''R<sub>0</sub>'' corresponding to the torus axis).
''R'' is called the ''major radius'' and ''r'' the ''minor radius''.
