Linear Polarizer

Linear vs. Circular Polarizer?
Hi,
I just take pictures as a hobby, and I take a lot of pictures of sunsets. I don't know very much about photography so maybe you can help.
I have a Canon Powershot S3IS and I am curious if a linear or circular polarizer would be better for sunset pictures?
And is it worth the extra money to get one with six coats as opposed to just two? I don't really get it. Thanks!
Thanks Steve. I appreciate it.
You must always use a circular polarizer with any auto focus camera or the focus will not work correctly.
And yes, the more coatings on the filter the better. It will be much less prone to flare with the coatings.

Linear $93.99 The word linear comes from the Latin word linearis, which means created by lines. In mathematics, a linear map or function f(x) is a function which satisfies the following two properties... Additivity (also called the superposition property): f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y). This says that f is a group homomorphism with respect to addition. Homogeneity of degree 1: f(x) = f(x) for all . It turns out that homogeneity follows from the additivity property in all cases where is rational. (proof) In that case, provided that the function is continuous, it becomes useless to establish the condition of homogeneity as an additional axiom. In this definition, x is not necessarily a real number, but can in general be a member of any vector space. A less restrictive definition of linear function, not coinciding with the definition of linear map, is used in elementary mathematics. The concept of linearity can be extended to linear operators. Important examples of linear operators include the derivative considered as a differential operator, and many constructed from it, such as del and the Laplacian.

Linear Polarizer and LCD
What is the difference between linear and circular polariser?How they work?
in antennas, a linearly polarized antenna always has the electrical field aligned with one axis of the antenna, and if the receiving antenna is not aligned with this polarization, there will be losses compared to when they are aligned
a circularly polarized antenna's electrical field is not aligned with either of two orthogonal axes, so that a similar receive antenna does not suffer misalignment loss
