球坐标的计算

Question

我不得不说我对基础数学知之甚少感到害怕和惊讶。基本上我所拥有的是原点 (0,0,0)，我知道圆的半径 (10)，并且我知道两个角度（theta 和 phi）。鉴于此假设，我想计算球体上的投影点。我通过阅读 , , http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcII/SphericalCoords.aspx and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system 的答案得出了底部代码。

我当前的代码：

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import math


PI = math.pi
PI_2 = PI / 2

def calc_sphere_coordinates(radius, phi, theta):
    # see: 
    # see: 
    # see: http://mathinsight.org/spherical_coordinates
    # see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system
    # see: http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcII/SphericalCoords.aspx

    # φ phi is the polar angle, rotated down from the positive z-axis (slope)
    # θ theta is azimuthal angle, the angle of the rotation around the z-axis (aspect)

    # z        
    # |  x
    # | /
    # |/
    # +-------- y

    # both angles need to be in radians, not degrees!
    theta = theta * PI / 180
    phi = phi * PI / 180

    x = radius * math.sin(phi) * math.cos(theta)
    y = radius * math.sin(phi) * math.sin(theta)
    z = radius * math.cos(phi)
    return (x, y, z)

if __name__ == "__main__":

    # calculate point position in hemisphere by rotating down from positive z-axis
    for i in (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 , 80, 90):
        print(calc_sphere_coordinates(10, i, 0))

    print("-"*10)

    # calculate point position in hemisphere by rotating around the z axis
    for i in (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 , 80, 90):
        print(calc_sphere_coordinates(10, 0, i))

    print("-"*10)

    # calculate point position by rotating in both directions
    for i in (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 , 80, 90):
        print(calc_sphere_coordinates(10, i, 90-i))

代码输出结果如下：

带 (10.0, 0.0, 6.123233995736766e-16) 的线的 z 坐标不应该是 0 而不是 6.123233995736766e-16 吗？无论使用什么角度 (0.0, 0.0, 10.0)，围绕 z 轴旋转也总是得到相同的结果。

Answer 1

据我所知，您的代码运行良好。老实说，必须承认 6.123233995736766e-16 对于所有实际应用程序来说几乎都是 0，对吧？

你的问题归结为

为什么 math.cos(math.pi / 2.0) 不等于零

原因在于浮点数是如何生成并存储在计算机中的。尝试在 python 中计算 0.1+0.2。吃惊？！如果您想了解更多，只需 google 浮点错误 或任何相关内容。
