I'm confused by (what appears to be) a discrepancy concerning the range assumptions for the spherical coordinate system.
The following command tells Mathematica to report the range assumptions for its spherical coordinate system:
CoordinateChartData [{"Spherical"},
"CoordinateRangeAssumptions", {a,b,c}]
Mathematica then reports:
a > 0 && 0 < b < Pi && -Pi < c <= Pi
That is at odds with the description given in Wolfram's Mathworld
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SphericalCoordinates.html
Unlike the above report from Mathematica, Mathworld describes the range as:
a>0
0<=b< 2Pi
0<=c<= Pi
