Does anyone have a good resource of worked examples on simple (ish) tensor algebra? By way of background I'm a mechanical engineer tackling computatonal solid mechanics and my class notes aren't exactly helpful. I have Holzapfel's 'Nonlinear Solid Mechanics' and while very useful I like to learn from working through full worked examples, which there aren't many of.

Thanks!
