In this video on #TensorCalculus, I develop the covariant derivative for both a contravariant tensor and a covariant tensor (the formulas are different in either case).

Questions/requests? Let me know in the comments!

Pre-reqs: The previous videos in the playlist (especially the one on transforming Christoffel symbols) - youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdgVBOaXkb9D6zw47gsrtE5XqLeRPh27_
