Thank you for the nice discussion about dyads. Could you go into more details, maybe with an example in relativity? Riemann is somehow strange to me..
In continuum mechanics they usually say that a stress tensor for example can be introduced as sigma*dyad_1(dyad_product)dyad_2, where sigma is...
Yes, it is quite cumbersome and I think that either there is no good introduction to it or I am missing some nice books. But after weeks of reading of different tutorials, I am still stucked in the definition. Still no idea about what dyads exactly are and what they represent, still no examples...
Hi guys,
I am coming from the computer science background and I did not find any of the tutorials you mentioned useful. First of all, why should I read hundred of pages about linear algebra to understand the concept of tensors? Second, even after reading all these pages about basis...
