About this book :-
Tensors and Differential Geometry Applied written by
Z. U. A. Warsi.
The purpose of this monograph is to present the theories of basic
tensor analysis and of the differential geometry of surfaces for the
purpose of formulating problems of coordinate generation in regions
bounded by arbitrary curves or surfaces. Since the writing of the first
memoir on the subject of tensor analysis by Ricci and Levi-Civita [11
in 1901 some very significant developments in the theory of tensor
analysis have taken place, though, the major applications of the subject
have only been confined to the general theory of relativity and to the
continuum mechanics. In this monograph an attempt has been made to
utilize the theories of classical tensor analysis and differential
geometry of surfaces in developing new methods for the generation of
coordinates in arbitrary regions. Only those results of tensor theoretic
and differential geometric significance have been explained which are
needed in the development of the subject in a fruitful manner. However,
it turns out that for a better understanding and a sound conceptual
orientation some basic ideas, by the way of definitions and notations,
have also to be introduced. Though this elementary exposition forms a
small part of the total effort, and is explained much better in the
references given below, nevertheless, its inclusion imparts a sort of
continuity to the whole presentation.
