Summary "This textbook deals with tensors that are treated as vectors, and its orientation is practical. In addition to dealing with the classical topics of standard books on tensors, it introduces new tensor concepts, such as the rotation of tensors, the transposer tensor, the eigentensors, the permutation tensor structure. The book bridges a gap between the classical theory of tensors and the possibility of solving tensor problems with a computer."--Jacket
