Tensor Calculus A Concise Course

A compact exposition of the theory of tensors, this text also illustrates the power of the tensor technique by its applications to differential geometry, elasticity, and relativity. Explores tensor algebra, the line element, covariant differentiation, geodesics and parallelism, and curvature tensor. Also covers Euclidean 3-dimensional differential geometry, Cartesian tensors and elasticity, and the theory of relativity. 1960 edition.Spain, Barry is the author of 'Tensor Calculus A Concise Course', published 2003 under ISBN 9780486428314 and ISBN 0486428311.
