The primary tool in the theory of relativity, tensor calculus is also important in continuum mechanics and differential geometry. This book takes a nonabstract, easy-to-understand approach, developing in numerous examples and solved problems those topics most pertinent to physics and engineering students.

First Sentence
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, But Hard As A Rabid Gorilla, 29 Jun 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good first inmersion in tensor calculus, 9 Jan 2008
By Daniele Cadorin (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
