This chapter introduces the various types of coordinate systems that exist in three dimensions and develops the basic concept of ‘metric’ to describe their properties. It introduces vectors in these coordinate systems and develops the notions of the ‘index language,’ dependence on the metric, and the covariance of vectors. Early familiarity with the metric tensor, index or component notation, symmetric and anti-symmetric manipulation is intended.
