So as I have read in Schutzs book on GR, and I'm finding his section on tensors and one forms very confusing.
Schutz describes gradients of functions as a one form, I cannot quite grasp why. In calculus I was taught that the gradient was a vector pointing in the direction of the fastest increase. Could someone shed some light on this?
