Coordinate-induced basis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, a coordinate-induced basis is a basis for the tangent space or cotangent space of a manifold that is induced by a certain coordinate system. Given the coordinate system , the coordinate-induced basis of the tangent space is given by

and the dual basis of the cotangent space is
