About this document
Christoffel Symbols in Polar Coordinates by rohan das is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document details the calculation of the Christoffel symbols for a two-dimensional surface of a sphere in polar coordinates. It builds on previous work by using the metric tensor to derive the symbols, presenting both the calculations for symbols with θ and φ as upper indices. Ultimately, it concludes with the eight Christoffel symbols relevant to the surface of a sphere.
