For coordinates and line element , these are the nonzero Christoffel symbols. The prime means differentiation with respect to , and coordinate zero is , not . They follow either from the metric-derivative formula or the Euler-Lagrange equations for the affine geodesic Lagrangian. Both mixed lower-index orders must be counted to obtain the factor of two in the spatial geodesic equation.
