An introduction to the theory of Cartesian tensors, this text notes the importance of the analysis of the structure of tensors in terms of spectral sets of projection operators as part of the very substance of quantum theory. Covers isotropic tensors and spinor analysis within the confines of Euclidean space; and tensors in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates. Examples. 1960 edition.
Unabridged republication of the edition published by Methuen & Co., Ltd., London, and John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1960.
