The forum discussion centers on recommended books for learning tensor calculus, particularly in the context of General Relativity (GR). The primary recommendation is "Landau & Lifshitz, Volume 2," which effectively covers both GR and essential tensor calculus using Ricci calculus and holonomous bases. For a more contemporary perspective, "Gravitation" by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler is suggested as a valuable resource for modern approaches to the subject.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for physics students, researchers in theoretical physics, and anyone interested in mastering tensor calculus for applications in General Relativity.
