Description

Tensors are needed in Physics to describe anisotropies and orientational behavior.
While every physics student knows what a vector is, there is often an uneasiness
about the notion tensor. In lectures, I used to tell students: “you can be a good
physicist without knowing much about tensors, but when you learn how to handle
tensors and what they are good for, you will have a considerable advantage. And
here is your chance to learn about tensors as a mathematical tool and to get familiar
with their applications to physics
