About this document
Curvilinear Coordinates Overview by Tushar Ghosh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses curvilinear coordinate systems and how to work with variables other than Cartesian coordinates. It introduces curvilinear coordinates, which are coordinate systems that are functions of the Cartesian coordinates, like spherical polar and cylindrical polar coordinates. It provides the formalism for dealing with these more general coordinate systems by defining scale factors, unit vectors, arc length, vector area, and volume elements. It also discusses how to express vector fields in t
