Let . Find , the a vectors, and for the u, v coordinate system and show that it is not an orthogonal system. Hint: Show that the vectors are not orthogonal, and that contains du dv terms. Write the matrix and observe that it is symmetric but not diagonal. Sketch the lines and observe that they are not perpendicular to each other.
Parabolic.
Show that the first parenthesis in (3.5) is a symmetric tensor and the second parenthesis is antisymmetric.
Do Problem 5 for the coordinate systems indicated in Problems 10 to 13. Parabolic.
Show that the fourth expression in (3.1) is equal to . By equations (2.6) and (2.10) , show that , so
Compare this with equation (2.12) to show thatis a Cartesian vector. Hint: Watch the summation indices carefully and if it helps, put back the summation signs or write sums out in detail as in (3.1) until you get used to summation convention.
