... occur. To enable us to do this we introduce another type of vectors: the so-called contra-variant vectors and tensors. Since a contravariant vector transforms differently from a covariant vector ... physics. This is why in an introduction to general relativity it is of importance to separate as clearly as possible the various ingredients that together give shape to this paradigm....
