Difficulty with covariant/contravariant vector sets

39 Views Asked by At

I'm reading "An Introduction to Tensors for Students of Physics and Engineering" (Kolecki 2002) and am stuck on page 18 (page 22 in the PDF). The author claims that, in a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, with two bases $u, v, w$ and $x, y, z$, we can define a contravariant basis set as $$\mathbf{e^{(1)}} = \frac{\partial{\mathbf{r}}}{\partial{u}},\ \mathbf{e^{(2)}} = \frac{\partial{\mathbf{r}}}{\partial{v}},\ \mathbf{e^{(3)}} = \frac{\partial{\mathbf{r}}}{\partial{w}}$$ where $\mathbf{r} = x\mathbf{i} + y\mathbf{j} + z\mathbf{k}$. Also, we can define a covariant basis set $$ \mathbf{e_{(1)}} = \mathbf{\nabla}u,\ \mathbf{e_{(2)}} = \mathbf{\nabla}v,\ \mathbf{e_{(3)}} = \mathbf{\nabla}w$$

Since these are covariant and contravariant vector sets, by definition we should have $\mathbf{e^{(1)}} \cdot \mathbf{e_{(1)}} = 1$, and the paper states that this is true. But I get a different result than the author when I try to do the proof: $$\begin{align} \mathbf{e^{(1)}} \cdot \mathbf{e_{(1)}} = \frac{\partial{\mathbf{r}}}{\partial{u}} \cdot \mathbf{\nabla}u & = \left( \frac{\partial}{\partial{u}} \left( x\mathbf{i} + y\mathbf{j} + z\mathbf{k}\right) \right) \cdot \left(\left( \frac{\partial}{\partial{x}} \mathbf{i} + \frac{\partial}{\partial{y}} \mathbf{j} + \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \mathbf{k} \right) u \right) \\ & = \left( \frac{\partial{x}}{\partial{u}} \frac{\partial{u}}{\partial{x}} \right) + \left( \frac{\partial{y}}{\partial{u}} \frac{\partial{u}}{\partial{y}}\right) + \left( \frac{\partial{z}}{\partial{u}} \frac{\partial{u}}{\partial{z}}\right) \\ &= 1 + 1 + 1 = 3\end{align}$$

In the paper, the author's first step in the proof is the same as the second line in mine, but he then gets $...=\partial{u}/\partial{u} = 1$ somehow. I don't believe the author is wrong, but I don't see how he gets that result. Where have I made a mistake?
