Homework Statement
[PLAIN]http://www.hot.ee/jaaniussikesed/valem_kovar_erlt.bmp
The first half of the equation is okay, but, after the second equal sign I started to improvise, did I mess up or is it correct? Trying to understand the indexes.
ds being the differentially small distance between events, dx the location vector? (not a 4 vector, I'm not sure on the English here) with covariant and contra-variant components present and the g is the metric tensor with its components marked by the indexes.
Regards,
Uku
