- TL;DR Summary
- Is there a consensus about the meaning of the Christoffel symbols' indices?
This is from Giancarlo Bernacchi's book "Tensors made easy":
And this is from Daniel Fleisch's book "A Student's Guide to Vectors and Tensors":
The meaning of the two lower indices is exchanged in the two explanations. Is one of them correct and the other one wrong, or is there no consensus about this?
