An Introduction to the Rudiments of Tensor Analysis
The notion of a tensor is developed in terms presumed familiar to the reader; tensors are shown to be a natural outgrowth and extension of vectors and matrices. The paper begins with an elementary discussion of affine vector spaces in a way which presupposes no prior contact with linear algebra on the part of the reader. The notions of the contravariant and covariant components of a vector are introduced early and the vector is characterized as a…
The Trouble with Numbers
The trouble with numbers is that they are fictitious characters. Just a few hundred years ago negative numbers were indeed called fictitious, and more recent times have witnessed the advent of imaginary numbers and the so-called hypercomplex numbers, the latter not being numbers at all
