A study of tensor calculus requires a certain amount of background material that may seem unimportant in itself, but without which one could not proceed very far. Read the first page

Format:Paperback
If you want to get rid of much of your reluctance in tensor calculus and fight powerfully with Einstein index summation and relief your pains with Christoffel symbols and Riemann Curvature Tensor, essential for General Relativity understanding then, I think this book, with solved problems and many others for practicing, is a good guide to make General Relativity and Cosmology more pleasant. I am a self-learner of Cosmology and of these kind of mathematical topics, I used many books from the more theoretical to the simplest ones and think that this and the Sokolnikoff's (Tensor Analysis and Its Applications) are a good couple of references to understand this branch of tools for Physics and making me more happy dominating the practice with these objects. Later on, if you are more interested in going deeply in the axiomatic bases of tensors (possibly by using Gravitation of Misner, Thorne and Wheeler), at least you'll already have the calculus foundations to go on. I know many others would say that there are many other wonderful books, but to me this is the one I found the best to condensate the most of all my doubts in the subject and.... go on.

Tensors are a booger to learn, even with a great guide like this. It's just hard. But this is the best guide available. More completely worked out problems would be nice. A very very solid grounding in vector analysis and linear algebra is required before tackling this book, however.

This book has the clarity one has come to expect of the Schaum series. There are plenty of worked examples and there is a minimum of mathematical jargon. It would be improved by adding a list of the symbols employed.

Much machinery, few concepts
Sorry, my assessment does not agree with the majority. This book belongs to the mythical "Schaum Outline Series" without having the qualities. Read more

Nice new book but quite basic. Sticks to tensors
Nice new book but quite basic. Sticks to tensors. Would have been nice if it worked in more dimensions and we saw different cases but it's a very well written book and helped... Read more

Clear, concise, dense and concrete
From the headline it may sound as if I am reviewing a bucket of wet cement. As far as usefulness and flexibility goes, it's not far off. Read more

fantastic choice
The best book I've ever seen on tensors, with clear notation, super-useful exercises. "Must-have"! For tensors' lovers
