Tensor Calculus

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

Abstract
The motto in this section is: the higher the level of abstraction, the better.
Why is it interesting?
Tensor calculus is a technique that can be regarded as a follow-up on linear algebra. It is a generalisation of classical linear algebra. In classical linear algebra one deals with vectors and matrices. Tensors are generalisations of vectors and matrices. Introduction to Tensor Calculus by Kees Dullemond & Kasper Peeters
