Ebook: A student's guide to vectors and tensors

A graduate-level text introducing the use of exterior differential forms as a powerful tool in the analysis of a variety of mathematical problems in the physical and engineering sciences. Directed primarily to graduate-level engineers and physical scientists, it has also been used successfully to introduce modern differential geometry to graduate students in mathematics. Includes 45 illustrations. Index 1. Vectors -- 2. Vector operations -- 3. Vector applications -- 4. Covariant and contravariant vector components -- 5. Higher-rank tensors -- 6. Tensor applications
