Mistake in Carroll's Notes?
On the page 186 of Lecture Notes on General Relativity, where he writes the line element in both ##\tilde{u}## and ##\tilde{v}## coordinates , I think he missed a minus sign. Can someone check it, please?
Also, why he writes ##(d\tilde{u} d\tilde{v}+d\tilde{v}d\tilde{u})/2## instead of ##d\tilde{u} d\tilde{v}##?
