Description
Tensor Calculus A Concise Course by Barry Spain is an introduction to the fundamental results in tensor theory, covering its applications to differential geometry, elasticity, and relativity. The book provides a compact exposition of the subject, developing key concepts without excessive rigor. The first five chapters introduce tensor algebra, covariant differentiation, and curvature tensors, while the final three chapters explore Euclidean three-dimensional differential geometry, Cartesian tensors, and elasticity. A review of both special and general theories of relativity is also included, with introductory material for readers unfamiliar with the concepts. This concise course is suitable for physicists who want to apply tensor theory to their work, as well as mathematicians seeking a brief overview before diving into more comprehensive texts on differential geometry.
