Recenzii
From the reviews:
"This book is a very nice introduction to the theory of tensor analysis on differentiable manifolds. It is intended mainly for students, but it can also be useful to everyone interested in the tensor analysis on differentiable manifolds and its application to the relativity theory and continuum mechanics." (Cezar Dumitru Oniciuc, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1138 (16), 2008)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Tensors: The Mathematics of Relativity Theory and Continuum Mechanics, by Anadijiban Das, emerged from courses taught over the years at the University College of Dublin, Carnegie-Mellon University and Simon Fraser University.
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.

Caracteristici
Many known concepts which are scattered in various books are brought together in a rigorous, logical way Chapter 7 contains discussion on extrinsic curvature which is more extensive than in any other book available Tensor analysis is further explained in the book, touching on general differential manifolds, manifolds with connections and manifolds with metrics and connections. Competing books have only Riemannian and Pseudo-Riemannian manifolds discussed Each section of each chapter contains questions and exercises to further enhance understanding of the topics discussed
