OBSOLETE VECTOR ANALYSIS PACKAGE SYMBOL
ScaleFactors
As of version 9.0, vector analysis functionality is built into Mathematica 
ScaleFactors[pt]
gives a list of the scale factors at the point pt in the default coordinate system.
gives a list of the scale factors in the coordinate system coordsys.
Details
- To use
, you first need to load the Vector Analysis Package using Needs["VectorAnalysis`"]. - The scale factors are given by
, where 
, 
, 
are the coordinates of the coordinate system coordsys, if specified, or the default coordinate system otherwise. - The coordinates of pt should be given in the coordinate system coordsys, if specified, or the default coordinate system otherwise.
- If pt is not given, the default coordinate variables for coordsys are used.
