<p><b>Using a clear, step-by-step approach, this book explains one of the more difficult¿yet crucial¿topics in physics.</b></p><p>Understanding tensors is essential for any physics student dealing with phenomena where causes and effects have different directions. A horizontal electric field producing vertical polarization in dielectrics; an unbalanced car wheel wobbling in the vertical plane while spinning about a horizontal axis; an electrostatic field on Earth observed to be a magnetic field by orbiting astronauts¿these are some situations where physicists employ tensors. But the true beauty of tensors lies in this fact: When coordinates are transformed from one system to another, tensors change according to the same rules as the coordinates. Tensors, therefore, allow for the convenience of coordinates while also transcending them. This makes tensors the gold standard for expressing physical relationships in physics and geometry. </p><p>Undergraduate physics majors are typically intr

Philosophers and poets in times past tried to figure out why the stainless moon "smoothly polished, like a diamond" in Dante''s words, had stains. The agreed solution was that, like a mirror, it reflected the imperfect Earth. Today...
