2. Find the expression for the line element ds2=dx2+dy2+dz2 as expressed in terms of spherical coordinates (r,?,?) where x=rsin?cos?,y=rsin?sin?,z=rcos?. and r>0,??[0,?], and ? periodically identified with period 2?. For those who dislike doing computations by hand, you can use Maple or Mathematica, just attach a PDF of the output (don't send the actual worksheets or notebooks).
