TENSORS AND MANIFOLDS (2ND ED)

Review from previous edition Clearly written and self-contained and, in particular, the author has succeeded in combining mathematical rigor with a certain degree of informality in a satisfactory way. As such, this work will certainly be appreciated by a wide audience.' -Mathematical Reviews, August 1993. This book sets forth the basic principles of tensors and manifolds and describes how the mathematics underlies elegant geometrical models of classical mechanics, relativity and elementary particle physics.
