<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Part I: rigorous presentation of tensor calculus as a develoment of vector analysis. Part II: important applications of tensor calculus. Concluding section: field equations of general relativity theory. 1962 edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This classic introductory text, geared toward undergraduate students of mathematics, is the work of an internationally renowned authority on tensor calculus. The two-part treatment offers a rigorous presentation of tensor calculus as a development of vector analysis as well as discussions of the most important applications of tensor calculus.<br>Starting with a chapter on vector spaces, Part I explores affine Euclidean point spaces, tensor algebra, curvilinear coordinates in Euclidean space, and Riemannian spaces. Part II examines the use of tensors in classical analytical dynamics and details the role of tensors in special relativity theory. The book concludes with a brief presentation of the field equations of general relativity theory.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>This classic introductory text, geared toward undergraduate students of mathematics, is the work of an internationally renowned authority on tensor calculus.
