Hi.
I’ve just started learning about tensors on my own and am still trying to understand coordinate transformations.
If I begin with a vector whose Cartesian components are (x, y, z) and apply the tensor transformation to cylindrical polars, I end up with (r, 0, z) – is this right? I anticipated (r, phi, z) – have I made an error or am I not understanding something?
Please help!
