three equations are summarized, namely in the first of them on the left side, the expression

.

is stated. For that, we can write with respect to (35)

,

and thus for the equation itself

The two other equations admit of a similar transformation, and therefore we have

(

Furthermore, as regards the first of equations ), this one goes over, since

into

,

so that () is equivalent with

Eventually it follows from

§ 58. To introduce the new variables also into the limiting conditions, we consider the perpendicular n for the considered point, and also two directions h and k that are perpendicular to one another and to n. There, the direction n shall correspond to a rotation by a right angle from h to k. Consequently it follows from (IX) (§ 56)

.

Now, since and are steady, then this must also be so for .
