:pr:1990: Changed and improved the implementation of :meth:.CoordinateSystem.get_area to work without Riemann rectangles This changes how :meth:.CoordinateSystem.get_area is implemented. To mimic the old behavior (tiny Riemann rectangles), use :meth:.CoordinateSystem.get_riemann_rectangles with a small value for dx.
:pr:2095: Changed angles for polar coordinates to use math convention This PR switches the parameter names phi and theta in :func:cartesian_to_spherical and :func:spherical_to_cartesian to align with the usual definition in mathematics <https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/83535735/131709630-87290522-7747-4b21-9411-dd3d35ebaf0f.png>__.

:pr:2094: Implemented :class:~.ImplicitFunction and :meth:.CoordinateSystem.get_implicit_curve for plotting implicit curves An :class:~.ImplicitFunction that plots the points :math:(x, y) which satisfy some equation :math:f(x,y) = 0.
