    Coordinate transformations on the Minkowski metric

    Thanks Antarres, that's helpful. And clears up some conceptual issues I was having about the metric. I've followed what you've suggested, and have ended up with the following set of equations...

    Coordinate transformations on the Minkowski metric

    The line element given corresponds to the metric: $$g = \begin{bmatrix}a^2t^2-c^2 & at & 0 & 0\\at & 1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 0 & 1 & 0\\0 & 0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}$$ Using the adjugate method: ##g^{-1}=\frac{1}{|g|}\tilde{g}## where ##\tilde{g}## is the adjugate of ##g##. This gives me...
