As we move forward to discuss the particle on a ring, ie. rotation in 1D, the biggest change that happens is that we need to change the coordinate system from cartesian coordinates to spherical polar coordinates (SPC). Have a look at the following video to help understand this conversion (reminder: document your work, ie. take some notes).
