Schaum's Outline of Tensor Calculus

Schaum's Outlines contain hundreds of solutions to problems covered in any college course. This guide, which can be used with any text or can stand alone, contains at the beginning of each chapter a list of key definitions, a summary of major concepts, step by step solutions to dozens of problems, and additional practice problems. Major concepts covered are the Einstein Summation Convention , Basic Linear Algebra for Tensors , General Tensors , Tensor Operations: Tests for Tensor Character , The Metric Tensor , The Derivative of a Tensor , Riemannian Geometry of Curves , Riemannian Curvature , Spaces of Constant Curvature , Normal Coordinates , Tensors in Euclidean Geometry.Tensors in Classical Mechanics , Tensors in Special Relativity , Tensor Fields on Manifolds , and supplementary problems
