Excerpt from Introduction au Calcul Tensoriel Et au Calcul Différentiel Absolu
Le physicien nous pose des problèmes dont il attend de nous la solution. Mais en nous les proposant, il nous a payé largement d'avance le service que nous pourrons lui rendre, si nous parvenons les résoudre.
Les combinaisons que peuvent former les nombres et les symboles sont une multitude infinie. Dans cette multitude, comment choisirons-nous celles qui sont dignes d'attirer notre attention? Nous laisserons-nous uniquement guider par notre caprice? Ce caprice, qui lui - même d'ailleurs ne tarderait pas à se lasser, nous entraînerait sans doute bien loin les uns des autres et nous cesserions promptement de nous entendre entre nous.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the mathematical algorithms essential to understanding Einstein's theories of relativity. It assumes no prior knowledge of the calculus of tensors used in general relativity, and can prepare readers to tackle more advanced works. It begins with vectors and transformations, using the language of geometry to support the reader's intuition, and then proceeds to develop concepts such as contravariant and covariant tensors. The author gives an insightful new definition of tensors using bilinear and quadratic forms. The ideas and insights of the book have been central to the development of general relativity, which has revolutionized our understanding of space, time, gravity, and the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
