A covector is a linear functional that maps a vector to a scalar, often used in the context of differential geometry and linear algebra.
In differential geometry, a covector can be used to define a differential form on a manifold.
Examples
The covariant derivative of a covector field along a vector field v is again a covector field.
Ковариантная производная ковекторного поля вдоль векторного поля v - тоже ковекторное поле.
