Operator as a vector field?!

61 Views Asked by At

I am given the following vector field in spherical coordinates:

v=∂/∂t+∂/∂r

I am then asked to provide a parametrization (y^α)(μ) (α is a vector component, not an exponent) for the curves to which v is tangent.

I don't even understand how an operator be a vector field, let alone solve this.
