In polar coordinates, $x=r\cos \theta$, $y=r\sin \theta$, with $r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$. Thus the polar form of a complex number isHere $r=|z|\ge 0$ is its complex modulus; for $z\ne 0$, the complex argument $\theta$ is determined modulo $2\pi$. At $z=0$ the angle is undefined, although every value of $\theta$ gives the same point when $r=0$.
