Thanks for the reply! I already had ended up with these two differential equations, but I thought there was another way, because they seem difficult to solve. I put them here: ##1=(u^2-v^2) \frac {\partial^2 u} {\partial t^2} -(u^2-v^2) \frac {\partial^2 v} {\partial t^2}## ##-1=(u^2-v^2)...

Homework Statement Consider the metric ds2=(u2-v2)(du2 -dv2). I have to find a coordinate system (t,x), such that ds2=dt2-dx2. The same for the metric: ds2=dv2-v2du2. Homework Equations General coordinate transformation, ds2=gabdxadxb The Attempt at a Solution I started with a general...
