Extract

The properties of “triply orthogonal” systems of surfaces have been examined by various writers and in considerable detail; but those of triple systems generally have not hitherto received the same attention. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss non-orthogonal systems, and to investigate formulæ in terms of the “oblique” curvilinear coordinates u, v, w which such a system determines.
