Hello,
I am an undergrad currently trying to understand General Relativity. I am reading Sean Carroll's Spacetime and Geometry and I understand the physics (to a certain degree) but I am having trouble understanding the notation used as well as the ideas for tensors, dual vectors and the mathematics behind them. It is mainly that I cannot visualize the mathematical operations used on tensors as such. Are there any good references that I could look into that simply explain the notation? I think once I get this, the pace should increase but for now I'm stuck.
Thanks!
