Let’s say I have:
x=r\sin\theta\cos\phi
y=r\sin\theta\sin\phi
z=r\cos\theta
I would like to get an expression for:
dx^2+dy^2+dz^2
in terms of r, \theta, \phi.
For example:
dx=\sin\theta\cos\phi dr+r\sin\theta(-\sin\phi)d\phi+r\cos\theta\cos\phi
How can I achieve this with Mathematica?
I know I can start with:
x[_r,_theta,_phi]=r*Sin[theta]*cos[Phi]
and so on, but then I don’t see a straightforward line forward.
