So far, our treatment has emphasized the use of natural coordinates. At the beginning of Chapter 2, we stated our policy that in important computations, we only use objects which are invariant under positive rescaling in y. Consequently, our treatment using natural coordinates on TM \0 can be regarded as occurring on the (projective) sphere bundle SM, in the context of homogeneous coordinates.
