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...- amathie

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...- amathie
