Book Description
"The book seeks to combine a traditional course on three-dimensional coordinate geometry with the needs of the modern student. Vectors, as required in geometry, are fully discussed, and there is an account of tensors that goes into much greater detail than is customary at this level. The work on the general quadric aims to furnish also an introduction to some techniques of matrix algebra"--Jacket front flap.

Concepts from Tensor Analysis and Differential Geometry
Author: Tracy Y. Thomas
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483263711
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Concepts from Tensor Analysis and Differential Geometry discusses coordinate manifolds, scalars, vectors, and tensors. The book explains some interesting formal properties of a skew-symmetric tensor and the curl of a vector in a coordinate manifold of three dimensions. It also explains Riemann spaces, affinely connected spaces, normal coordinates, and the general theory of extension. The book explores differential invariants, transformation groups, Euclidean metric space, and the Frenet formulae. The text describes curves in space, surfaces in space, mixed surfaces, space tensors, including the formulae of Gaus and Weingarten. It presents the equations of two scalars K and Q which can be defined over a regular surface S in a three dimensional Riemannian space R. In the equation, the scalar K, which is an intrinsic differential invariant of the surface S, is known as the total or Gaussian curvature and the scalar U is the mean curvature of the surface. The book also tackles families of parallel surfaces, developable surfaces, asymptotic lines, and orthogonal ennuples. The text is intended for a one-semester course for graduate students of pure mathematics, of applied mathematics covering subjects such as the theory of relativity, fluid mechanics, elasticity, and plasticity theory.

Coordinate Geometry with Vectors and Tensors
The Very Basics of Tensors
Author: Nils K. Oeijord
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 059535694X
Category : Algebras, Linear
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Tensor calculus is a generalization of vector calculus, and comes near of being a universal language in physics. Physical laws must be independent of any particular coordinate system used in describing them. This requirement leads to tensor calculus. The only prerequisites for reading this book are a familiarity with calculus (including vector calculus) and linear algebra, and some knowledge of differential equations.
