Thanks for replying ,but you have to understand that I am not a math student ,I stumbled upon this while learning Multivariable Calculus ,to be specific while converting Gradient from Cartesian to spherical coordinates for Electrostatics .Here the differential terms are covariant I suppose ?,In...

But why do we use Inverse Jacobian for covariant transformations?

While learning about Special Relativity I learned that we use the Transformation matrix to alter the space .This matrix differs for Contravariant and Covariant vectors.Why does it happen?,Why one kind of matrix (Jacobian) for basis vectors and other kind(Inverse Jacobian) for gradient...
