 Best Place To Start January 5, 2001

This is probably the clearest ontoduction to tensor analysis that is currently on the market. It makes a quite difficult and messy subject seem pretty straightforward. It's best to know your vector calc in and out before attempting this book, but it's a godsend compared to some of the other texts out on the market today. A great guide for engineering and physics students and the price can't be beat.

So far, I've covered the first 5 chapters. Very easy to understand, and plenty of example problems. What more could you ask for?

This Study Guide functions properly. If right now, you are reading the title "Tensor Calculus" and wish you understood it someday. But have absolutely no idea what a tesnor of rank zero is. GET THIS BOOK My main goal was to understand General Relativity. But as you know, the mathematics of General Relativity is nothing but Tensor Calculus. I was particularly intrigued by the mysteries of the Riemann Curvature Tensor. The key to General Relativity. As soon as I purchased this book, I started studying Chapter 8, the "Riemannian Curvature" not knowing anything about the previous chapters. Hopeless I eventually turned to chapter 1 and gradually climed up the ladder. Then came my Golden Times in Tensor Calculus. I cracked the mysteries of the Riemann Curvature Tensor and at last I turned to General Relativity. I'm currently studying black holes thanks to this book.
Easy reading for a complex subject June 26, 2006

I've many books about tensors and this one is the best one to start learning such a difficult subject. It does not omit the things that are assumed you must know. It explains everything, even the simplest things in a easy way. However, you should know vector analysis and multidimensional calculus in order to understand the complex things in the last chapters.

I have found it to be an excellent refernce for an otherwise difficult subject.
