Can anyone recommend good introductory texts for self-study? I want to teach myself about tensors and about topology.
FYI, I have a B.S. in Physics and am a Fellow of the Casualty Actuarial Society. I don't remember my vector calculus and am in the process of relearning - I'm using the book div, grad, curl, and all that
Thanks much!
