$6.95 Cat. No. TAS-1 PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS OF TENSOR ANALYSIS By MATTHEW S. SMITH Principles and Applications of Tensor Anal- ysis presents a detailed step-by-step develop- ment of tensor notation and thegry, advanced concepts in tensor analysis, differential geom- etry, and analytical mechanics in tensor form. CHAPTER 1. BASIC TENSOR THEORY This chapter emphasizes the important concepts of relative tensors, covariant tensors, contra- variant tensors, mixed tensors, metric tensors, base vectors, and Kronecker deltas. CHARTER 2. CHRISTOFFEL SYMBOLS AND THE COVARIANT DERIVATIVES Includes the Christoffel symbols, covariant de- rivatives, intrinsic derivatives, and Laplace's equation. Because of the many important ap- plications, Laplace's equation is included in tensor form, using generalized curvilinear co- ordinates. Some of the more important applica- tions in potential theory are included as illustra- tive examples. $6.95 Cat. No. TAS-1 Principles & Applications of Tensor Analysis by Matthew S. Smith HOWARD W.
