= Invariant vs covariant
Some sources distinguish "invariant" from "covariant" such that under some transformation (typically <Lie group>):
* invariant: the value of $f(x)$ does not change if we transform $x$
* covariant: the form of the equation $f(x)$ does not change if we transform $x$.
TODO examples.
