This book was written as lecture notes for classes that I taught to undergraduate
students majoring in physics in February 2004 during my time as a guest instructor
at The University of Akron, which was supported by Dr. Sergei F. Lyuksyutov's
grant from the National Research Council under the COBASE program. These 4
classes have been taught in the frame of a regular Electromagnetism course as an
introduction to tensorial methods.
I wrote this book in a "do-it-yourself" style so that I give only a draft of tensor
theory, which includes formulating denitions and theorems and giving basic ideas
and formulas. All other work such as proving consistence of denitions, deriving
formulas, proving theorems or completing details to proofs is left to the reader in
the form of numerous exercises. I hope that this style makes learning the subject
really quick and more eective for understanding and memorizing.
