Reviews
From the book reviews: The textbook is meant for advanced undergraduate and graduate audiences. It is a common language among scientists and can help students from technical fields see their respective fields in a new and exiting way. (Maido Rahula, zbMATH, Vol. 1300, 2015) This book attempts to give careful attention to the advice of both Cartan and Weyl and to present a clear geometric picture along with an effective and elegant analytical technique ... . it should be emphasized that this book deepens its readers' understanding of vector calculus, differential geometry, and related subjects in applied mathematics. Both undergraduate and graduate students have a chance to take a fresh look at previously learned material through the prism of tensor calculus. (Andrew Bucki, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2014)
