Stefan and Prasoon, could you comment on what you gather from that article?
What I got was this - 
"A reference frame is essentially about a state of motion. Every reference 
frame can have various coordinate systems attached to it. These systems may 
be oriented (rotated and translated) in certain ways with respect to each 
other. If you want to define two *somethings* that differ in their state of 
motion with respect to each other, then the *something* must be a frame of 
reference. In a frame of reference, if you want a different *way* of 
_measuring_ things, then this *way* is a coordinate system. Hence, every 
coordinate system MUST be attached to a reference frame, without which its 
existence dosen't make sense.
The only things that can be changed about frames and systems are their 
orientations and motion(only for frames) with respect to each other."
Stefan, I would like your comments on this.

About a ScalarField class, it is just to -
1. Provide a structure similar to Vectors (so users can do something like- 
for x in list, print field.express(system))
2. To ensure expression of the same field in different systems
3. To ensure field1 == field2 returns True if the fields are indeed equal 
(mathematically)
