Tensor Algebra and Tensor Analysis for Engineers

There is a large gap between the engineering course in tensor algebra and the treatment of linear transformations within classical linear algebra. The aim of this modern textbook is to bridge this gap through a thorough and fundamental exposition. The book primarily addresses engineering students with some initial knowledge of matrix algebra, applying mathematical formalism only as necessary. Numerous exercises are provided, accompanied by solutions to enable self-study. The last chapters of the book discuss modern developments in the theory of isotropic and anisotropic tensor functions and their applications to continuum mechanics, making it highly relevant for PhD students and scientists in this field. This third edition includes additional figures and examples.
