Today, it is sometimes hard not to think in terms of tensors and their associated concepts. This article, prompted and greatly enhanced by Marlos Jacob, whom I’ve met only by e-mail, is an attempt to …

Tensors for Beginners 4: What are Covectors?

Vectors are simple and well-known examples of tensors, but there is much more to tensor theory than vectors. The second chapter discusses tensor fields and curvilinear coordinates. It is this chapter …

The goal of this text is to present a fast and basic introductions to tensors, min-imizing the number of pre-requisites: for a good understanding of what’s about to be done here, it is recommended a basic …

Tensors of rank 2 determine a relationship between vectors in two different frames of reference. Mathematically, it may be represented as a transformation from a flat space of some given …

May 25, 2016 · Tensors may be expressed as an outer product of vectors where the rank of the resultant product is equal to the number of the vectors involved (e.g. 2 for dyads and 3 for triads).

Oct 23, 2023 · In this article, we will provide a simple introduction to tensors, breaking down their basic concepts and applications. What is a Tensor?

May 19, 2025 · Welcome to the first part of our crash course on Tensor Calculus! Our goal here is to build a solid foundation, starting from familiar concepts like vectors and gradually introducing the …

Several important 4-vectors for physics: 4-velocity, 4-momentum, 4-acceleration, and their properties. 1-forms, and tensors more generally. Using the metric and its inverse to raise and lower tensor indices.
