内容简介

This undergraduate text provides an introduction to the theory of Cartesian tensors, defining tensors as multilinear functions of direction, and simplifying many theorems in a manner that lends unity to the subject."
The author notes the importance of the analysis of the structure of tensors (especially those of the second rank) in terms of spectral sets of projection operators as part of the very substance of quantum theory. He therefore provides an elementary discussion of the subject, in addition to an introduction to isotropic tensors and spinor analysis without quitting the confines of Euclidean space. The text concludes with an examination of tensors in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. Numerous examples throughout the book illustrate the general theory and indicate certain extensions and applications.
For pure mathematicians, this volume will encourage the study of linear algebras and Riemannian geometry; for applied mathematicians and physicists, it will foster an acquaintance with the theory and practice of Cartesian tensors.
