Introduction to tensors

The Basic Library List Committee suggests that undergraduate mathematics libraries consider this book for acquisition. This is a concise but thorough text in vectors and tensors from the physics not linear algebra point of view. The text is unusual in that tensors take central place. It starts out with vectors, but at least half the material in the rest of the book is stated for general tensors. It is one of a series of texts that Richard A. Silverman prepared in the s and s by translating and freely adapting Russian-language texts.
