Physics students’ construction and checking of differential volume elements in an unconventional spherical coordinate system
In upper-division physics courses, students’ use of differential line, area, and volume elements and their facility with the various multivariable coordinate systems consistently go hand in hand. As part of an effort to investigate student understanding of the structure of non-Cartesian coordinate s...
