As its name suggests, this coordinate system is good for regions shaped
like cylinders or pieces of cylinders.
- 1.
- Let W be the cylinder of radius 4 centered on the z-axis between
z = -1 and z = 3.

Thus, W is described by
.
- 2.
- Let W be the region between the cylinders of radius 2 and 3,
bounded by the xy-plane, the plane z = 1, the plane x = 0 and the
plane y = 0. Thus, W is described by
.
