ydoaPs Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 What are tensors? In what branches of mathematics are they used? The only thing I know about them is that they are used in GR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt grime Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 All manner of applied maths uses tensors in that sense (stress strain etc). And we in pure have a similar though stirctly speaking different thing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezarashi Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 It'd be nice if someone could show us some simple calculations using tensors For some practical application of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoaPs Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 matt, since you seem to know what they are and you are a resident expert, could you please tell us what they are and how they are used? as mezarashi said, some calculations would be nice as well(that is if [math]\LaTeX[/math] is working).
