Das
Tensors
The Mathematics of Relativity Theory and Continuum Mechanics

▶ Brings together many known concepts that are scattered in various

books in a rigorous, logical way
▶ Contains a discussion on extrinsic curvature that is more extensive
than in any other book available
▶ Tensor analysis is further explained in the book, touching on
general differential manifolds, manifolds with connections and
manifolds with metrics and connections--competing books have only
Riemannian and Pseudo-Riemannian manifolds discussed
▶ Each section of each chapter contains questions and exercises to
further enhance understanding of the topics discussed
