Scale Factors for Orthogonal Curvilinear Coordinate Systems
Here we lean heavily on the class notes and associated references that have been provided by P. A. Kelly in a collection titled, Mechanics Lecture Notes: An Introduction to Solid Mechanics, as they appeared online in early 2021. See especially the subsection of Part III in which the properties of Vectors and Tensors are discussed.

Getting Started
Following Kelly, we will use <math>~\hat{e}_i</math> and <math>~x_i</math> when referencing, respectively, the three (i = 1,3) basis vectors and coordinate "curves" of the Cartesian coordinate system; and we will use <math>~\hat{g}_i</math> and <math>~\Theta_i</math> when referencing, respectively, the three (i = 1,3) basis vectors and coordinate curves of some other, curvilinear coordinate system.
