Contravariant vector

Vector behavior under coordinate changes A vector, v, represented in terms of tangent basis e1, e2, e3 to the coordinate curves (left),dual basis, covector basis, or reciprocal basis e, e, e to coordinate surfaces (right), in 3-d general curvilinear coordinates(q, q, q), a tuple of numbers to define a point in a position space.
