Abstract
Tensor analysis is a powerful tool that enables the students of engineering and physics to study and to understand more effectively the fundamentals of computational fluid mechanics, continuum mechanics, solid mechanics, bio-engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and the necessary operation required in general theory of relativity, to name just a few areas of tensor applications.
