Jan 26, 2025 · A tensor itself is a linear combination of let’s say generic tensors of the form . In the case of one doesn’t speak of tensors, but of vectors instead, although strictly speaking …

Every tensor is associated with a linear map that produces a scalar. For instance, a vector can be identified with a map that takes in another vector (in the presence of an inner product) and …

Feb 5, 2015 · Tensor : Multidimensional array :: Linear transformation : Matrix. The short of it is, tensors and multidimensional arrays are different types of object; the first is a type of function, …

Jun 5, 2013 · What is the difference between a matrix and a tensor? Or, what makes a tensor, a tensor? I know that a matrix is a table of values, right? But, a tensor?

Dec 8, 2024 · I'm an electrical engineer, and thus don't often interact with the types of mathematics that involve tensors. But when I try to get a deeper understanding of certain …

May 10, 2007 · A rank 3 tensor inputs three generalized vectors (i.e. either a vector or their dual vector), and spits out a scalar. One can also think of it as inputting 2 generalized vectors (or a …

Feb 11, 2024 · A tensor extends the notion of a matrix analogous to how a vector extends the notion of a scalar and a matrix extends the notion of a vector. A tensor can have any number …

This is a beginner's question on what exactly is a tensor product, in laymen's term, for a beginner who has just learned basic group theory and basic ring theory. I do understand from wikipedia …

A tensor field has to do with the notion of a tensor varying from point to point . A scalar is a tensor of order or rank zero , and a scalar field is a tensor field of order zero .

Nov 22, 2021 · I am looking for a book on tensor analysis and tensor calculus. My main focus right now is the mathematical aspect and the applications of tensors in physics. A Student's …
