Introduction to Tensors

My tensor series is finally here! In this video, I introduce the concept of tensors. I begin by talking about scalars, then vectors, then rank-2 tensors (whose explanation takes up the bulk of the video since these are probably the most difficult to understand out of the three). I then move on to define tensors (without specifying their transformation properties), after which I conclude the video with a short discussion on rank-3 tensors, which may be represented by 3-D matrices/arrays. Questions/requests? Let me know in the comments! Pre-requisites: You basically need to know what vectors, scalars, and matrices are. Nothing much more to it. A 1st-year Physics Linear Algebra course should be enough. Lecture Notes: Patreon: Twitter: Special thanks to my Patrons for supporting me at the $5 level or higher: - Jose Lo
