Title
Introduction to Vectors and Tensors: Second EditionTwo Volumes Bound as One (Volume 2) (Dover Books on Mathematics),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This convenient singlevolume compilation of two texts offers both an introduction and an indepth survey. Geared toward engineering and science students rather than mathematicians, its less rigorous treatment focuses on physics and engineering applications, building upon the systematic development of concepts rather than emphasizing mathematical problemsolving techniques. A practical reference for professionals, it is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.Volume I begins with a brief discussion of algebraic structures followed by detailed explorations of the algebra of vectors and tensors, in addition to aspects of linear and multilinear algebra. Topics include vector spaces, linear transformations, determinants and matrices, spectral decompositions, and tensor and exterior algebra. Volume II opens with a discussion of Euclidean manifolds and proceeds to the development of analytical and geometrical aspects of vector and tensor fields. Subsequent chapters survey the integration of fields on Euclidean manifolds, hypersurfaces, and continuous groups.
