Tensors
These notes may serve as a reminder of tensor algebra. The notes supplement the course on advanced elasticity. Several books are listed at the end of the notes.
Update on 17 April. I am now breaking up the notes on tensors, cleaning them up, and posting them as sections on linear algebra.

About Notes on Tensors
Dear Prof. Suo,
I read with very interest Your notes on Tensors (after finish reading Your notes on Vectors). A pity that I didn't see Your explanation on Tensors in this note. As You already explained that You break up this notes to seperate topics.
Looking forward to Your further updates on the breaking-up version of the the notes on Tensors.
Thank you very much for all the Notes you posted, and looking forward for new ones.
Re: About Notes on Tensors
Thank you for your kind words. I have described the algebra of tensors in my notes on finite deformation. The basic idea is that all tensors come from linear maps between vectors. For example, stress is a linear map from the area vector to force.
Thank you very much for the
Thank you very much for the information, great it's aready available! I will read the note with care. Thanks!
