Tensor analysis is an essential tool in any science (e.g. engineering, physics, mathematical biology) that employs a continuum description. This concise text offers a straightforward treatment of the subject suitable for the student or practicing engineer. The final chapter introduces the reader to differential geometry, including the elementary theory of curves and surfaces. A well-organized formula list, provided in an appendix, makes the book a very useful reference. A second appendix contains full hints and solutions for the exercises.

From the Publisher:

Readership: Undergraduates in engineering or physics, and engineers.

Review:

The book gives a brief, clear, and comprehensive introduction to the theory ... A particularly nice feature is a well-organized appendix containing compact listings of all the principal formulas required in applications -- these 18 pages alone are worth the price of the book ... it should be of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students of physics and engineering, as well as to practicing physicists and engineers. -- ZAMM
