Solutions 1-2: Omitted.
3. (Summation convention) Expand the terms Ai B k Ci and aij bj . Is there a summation in ai + bi ?
Solution: (20 points) Ai B k Ci = B k (A1 C1 + A2 C2 + A3 C3 ).
aij bj = ai1 b1 + ai2 b2 + ai3 b3 .
There is no summation in ai + bi since the repeated index i is not in a product.
4. The new coordinate system K 0 is obtained by rotating the ii coordinate system
an angle θ about the x3 axis counterclockwise. Find the coefficients (i.e., αi0 j and
αj 0 i ) in the equations:
x0i = αi0 j xj ,
xi = αj 0 i x0j .
Solution: (20 points) Once you draw the three-dimensional graphs of the coordinate unit vectors, you can find
i01 = cos θi1 + sin θi2 ,
i02 = − sin θi1 + cos θi2 ,
i03 = i3 .
Then by definition of the αi0 j and αj 0 i , one can find
x01 = cos θx1 + sin θx2 ;
x02 = − sin θx1 + cos θx2 ;
x03 = x3 .
And by rotating backward, one finds
x1 = cos θx01 − sin θx02 ;
x2 = sin θx01 + cos θx02 ;
x3 = x03 .

Find the coefficients in the equation: x0i = αi0 j xj .
Solution: (20 points) One can use the formula αi0 j = i0i · ij or use the similarity

If a vector v has the components (2, −3, 6) with respect to the xi -coordinate system,
find its components in the x0i -system.

If you can use computer, then find all the components a0ij . (The formula in matrix
notation is (A0 ) = (α)(A)(α)T .)
