	Boozer coordinates are a set of [[Flux coordinates # Magnetic coordinates\|magnetic coordinates]] in which the diamagnetic <math>\nabla\psi\times\mathbf{B}</math> lines are straight besides ~~the~~ those of magnetic field <math>\mathbf{B}</math>. The periodic part of the stream function of <math>\mathbf{B}</math> and the scalar magnetic potential are flux functions (that can be chosen to be zero without loss of generality) in this coordinate system.
