I had a badly taught Advanced Linear Algebra course and it covered tensor algebra, resulting in a knowledge gap. What books would you recommend, if any? Exterior algebra, exterior calculus, Clifford and Grassmann algebras included wouldn't be bad ideas as well.

Hi Fantini,

For a basic idea about tensors I referred, Schaum's Outlines Vector Analysis (And An Introduction to Tensor Analysis) Once I did a General Relativity course and I found A Brief on Tensor Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) quite good, although I didn't read it apart from the first few chapters.
 
I posted this question on math-stackexchange but apparently I asked something stupid and I was downvoted. I still don't have an answer to my question so I hope someone in here can help me or at least explain me why I am asking something stupid. I started studying Complex Analysis and came upon the following theorem which is a direct consequence of the Cauchy-Goursat theorem: Let ##f:D\to\mathbb{C}## be an anlytic function over a simply connected region ##D##. If ##a## and ##z## are part of...
