Understand (k,l) Tensors in Gen. Relativity
I was confused by thinking that type (0, 1) tensor meant (k, l) tensor, not understanding about the mapping to R.

Understand (k,l) Tensors in Gen. Relativity
Sorry! General Relativity by Robert M. Wald, Page 20. Spacetime and Geometry by Sean M. Carroll, Page 21.

Understand (k,l) Tensors in Gen. Relativity
In both Wald and Carroll, a type (k,l) tensor has k dual vectors and l vectors, yet a (1,0) tensor is a vector and a (0,1) tensor is a dual vector. I must be missing something simple. Please explain.
