tensor (math.)

• major ref. in Analysis in Mathematics
• differential geometry
• study of manifolds
• see also types of tensor (e.g. contravariant tensor [Cross ref]; covariant tensor [Cross ref]; curvature tensor [Cross ref]; energy-stress tensor [Cross ref]; metrical tensor [Cross ref]; mixed tensor [Cross ref]); and tensors by name (e.g. Ricci tensor [Cross ref])
