Introduction to Tensors
Student-Run Research| Speaker: | Brian Wissman, UC Davis |
| Location: | 693 Kerr |
| Start time: | Wed, Oct 22 2003, 12:10PM |
Description
As you know the tensor product is an extremely useful tool in practically
every field of mathematics. Wouldn't it make sense to take the tensor
product of tensors??? Come Wednesday and find out about these useful
objects called tensors. We will discuss what a tensor is, some examples
(which you have undoubtedly seen before), the covariant derivative
(generalized gradient) and some of its applications. Hope to see you
there!
