Description
Part I of this classic work offers a rigorous presentation of tensor calculus as a development of vector analysis. Part II discusses the most important applications of tensor calculus, including the use of tensors in classical analytical dynamics and the role of tensors in special relativity. A concluding section examines field equations of general relativity theory.
