Mathematically speaking, a tensor is a multi-linear map, whereas a matrix represents a bilinear map in a specific coordinate system. Different coordinates yield different representations, but …

This is an introductory text which presents fundamental concepts from the subject areas of tensor calculus, differential geometry and continuum mechanics.

May 25, 2016 · In summary, what determines the tensor type (true or pseudo) of the tensor terms in-volving direct5 and cross products is the parity of the multiplicative factors of pseudo type

tensor algebra - third order tensors • third order tensor with coordinates (components) of relative to the basis

Understanding the role of the metric in linking the various forms of tensors1 and, more importantly, in differentiating tensors is the basis of tensor calculus, and the subject of this primer.
