.
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.
For Example 1, write out the components of U,V, and in the original right-handed coordinate system and in the left-handed coordinate system S' with the axis reflected. Show that each component ofinS'has the “wrong” sign to obey the vector transformation laws.
