I am trying to understand the tensor transformation law by applying it directly to a concrete example. If \vec V=V_x \hat x + V_y \hat \y + V_z \hat z then what do I end up with once I have applied the law?

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...
