Not a theory - just math - any time you plot something on a grid, it can be refered to in 2 ways...
X and Y - which is what most people thing of - That's called "Cartesian coordinates"
OR
an angle, and the distance from 0 - called a Polar Coordinates
Now you can fairly easily convert from one to the other, and converting from one to the other is called a "Transform" - hence you can convert Polar to Cartesian, or Cartesian to Polar any time you want - same thing, different way of talking about it
Call it a high brow math joke
