The book contains xii, 318 pages followed by about ten pages of Dover adverts. It will be carefully packaged for shipment to ensure protection from the elements, with a USPS electronic tracking number issued free of charge for your convenience.This standard work applies tensorial methods to subjects within the realm of advanced college mathematics. Divided into four main divisions, it explains fundamental ideas and notation of tensor theory, covers the geometrical treatment of tensor algebra, introduces the theory of differentiation of tensors, and applies mathematics to dynamics, electricity, elasticity, and hydrodynamics.Partial contents include algebraic preliminaries, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, and applied mathematics covering dynamics of particles, dynamics of rigid bodies, electricity and magnetism, mechanics of continuous media, and the special theory of relativity.For more information or pictures regarding the book, please feel free to contact us. …

This standard work applies tensorial methods to subjects within the realm of advanced college mathematics. In its four main divisions, it explains the fundamental ideas and the notation of tensor theory; covers the geometrical treatment of tensor algebra; introduces the theory of the differentiation of tensors; and applies mathematics to dynamics, electricity, elasticity, and hydrodynamics.
Partial contents: algebraic preliminaries (notation, definitions, determinants, tensor analysis); algebraic geometry (rectilinear coordinates, the plane, the straight line, the quadric cone and the conic, systems of cones and conics, central quadrics, the general quadric, affine transformations); differential geometry (curvilinear coordinates, covariant differentiation, curves in a space, intrinsic geometry of a surface, fundamental formulae of a surface, curves on a surface); applied mathematics (dynamics of a particles, dynamics of rigid bodies, electricity and magnetism, mechanics of continuous media, special theory of relativity).

Store description
Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.…
