Abstract: Students who are studying calculus often find the graphing of polar equations difficult and time consuming. Microsoft Excel is a helpful software tool for the teaching of mathematics, and can be used to generate dynamic spreadsheets specifically designed to make mathematical tasks more instructive as well as visually stimulating for students. A dynamic spreadsheet presentation can help students better appreciate how a graph is produced from the relationship between the polar coordinates.
