Abstract
This chapter presents a brief review of the fundamental concepts required for the consistent development of the later chapters. Various subjects are admitted as being previously known, which allows avoiding demonstrations that overload the text. It is assumed that the reader has full knowledge of Differential and Integral Calculus, Vectorial Calculus, Linear Algebra, and the fundamental concepts about tensors and dominium of the tensorial formalism. However, are presented succinctly the essential topics for understanding the themes that are developed in this book.
