Abstract:
A title that presents the concepts and techniques which begins with a brief introduction and history of tensors, followed by the study of systems of different orders, Einstein summation convention, kronecker symbol leading to the concepts of tensor algebra and tensor calculus. It concludes with a study in Riemannian geometry.
