This book will serve readers well as a modern introduction to the theories of tensor algebra and tensor analysis. Throughout Tensors, examples and worked-out problems are furnished from the theory of relativity and continuum mechanics. Topics covered in this book include, but are not limited to:§-tensor algebra-differential manifold-tensor analysis-differential forms-connection forms-curvature tensors-Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds The extensive presentation of the mathematical tools, examples and problems make the book a unique text for the pursuit of both the mathematical relativity theory and continuum mechanics.
