Tensor Index Exercises: Find Extra Resources Here

[Goldbeetle]

Dear all,
I'm reading the GR book by Ray D'Inverno. I would like to do some additional exercises
about tensors. I can get the Schaum Outline on tensors. Is there any other book or online resource where I can find additional exercises to get more familiar with tensor manipulations?

Thanks.

Thanks. But what I actually need is just a collection of exercises to work on.

You should be able to find plenty, with solutions and answers.

Thanks! That's right I had a look at the exam questions and there's always an exercise on tensors...

Tensor Analysis for Physicists by JA Schouten

Tensor calculus by JL Synge and A Schild
http://books.google.com/books?id=SjKoMuMdB4oC (the preview is messed up.. it seems mashed up with a book on hieroglyphics)

The above books are written by relativists who were among to first emphasize the geometrical structure of relativity.


A useful exercise is to derive the standard form of Maxwell Equations from the Electromagnetic Field Tensor.

I used this book in my undergrad. I loved it. It does not cover a lot of topics, but whatever it does is very need and clear to be understood by an average undergrad. Its really well written

Dear all,
I am reading this book too (d'inverno)
Do you know where can I find the solutions to its exercises?
specially chapter6?

 

[Goldbeetle]

At this link: http://physics.fau.edu/~cbeetle/PHY6938.07F/
you'll find solutions not only to D'Inverno's exercises and but also to Schutz's exercises. Not to all of them, though.
