In this video on #TensorCalculus, I develop the covariant derivative for both a contravariant tensor and a covariant tensor (the formulas are different in either case).

Questions/requests? Let me know in the comments!

Pre-reqs: The previous videos in the playlist (especially the one on transforming Christoffel symbols) -    • Tensor Calculus
