OverviewThe aim of this book is to make the subject easier to understand. This book provides clear concepts, tools, and techniques to master the subject -tensor, and can be used in many fields of research. Special applications are discussed in the book, to remove any confusion, and for absolute understanding of the subject. In most books, they emphasize only the theoretical development, but not the methods of presentation, to develop concepts. Without knowing how to change the dummy indices, or the real indices, the concept cannot be understood. This book takes it down a notch and simplifies the topic for easy comprehension. Features Provides a clear indication and understanding of the subject on how to change indices Describes the original evolution of symbols necessary for tensors Offers a pictorial representation of referential systems required for different kinds of tensors for physical problems Presents the correlation between critical concepts Covers general operations and concepts Full Product DetailsAuthor: Bhaben Chandra Kalita (Emeritus Professor, Dept. of Mathematics, Gauhati University, India)Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd Imprint: CRC Press Weight: 0.449kg ISBN: 9780367138066ISBN 10: 0367138069 Pages: 174 Publication Date: 28 March 2019 Audience: College/higher education , Undergraduate Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
