The square matrix in equation is called the Jacobian matrix J; the determinant of this matrix is the Jacobian which we used in Chapter 5 , Section 4 to find volume elements in multiple integrals. (Note that as in Chapter 3, J represents a matrix; J in italics is its determinant.) For the transformation to spherical coordinates in localid="1659266126385" and show that . Recall that the spherical coordinate volume element is . Hint: Find and note that
Show by the quotient rule (Section 3 ) that in is a -rank tensor.
Show that the contracted tensor is a -rank tensors.
Show that the first parenthesis in (3.5) is a symmetric tensor and the second parenthesis is antisymmetric.
