Faculty of Khan | Introduction to Tensors @FacultyofKhan | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 2 minutes ago
My tensor series is finally here! In this video, I introduce the concept of tensors. I begin by talking about scalars, then vectors, then rank-2 tensors (whose explanation takes up the bulk of the video since these are probably the most difficult to understand out of the three).

I then move on to define tensors (without specifying their transformation properties), after which I conclude the video with a short discussion on rank-3 tensors, which may be represented by 3-D matrices/arrays.

Questions/requests? Let me know in the comments!

Pre-requisites: You basically need to know what vectors, scalars, and matrices are. Nothing much more to it. A 1st-year Physics + Linear Algebra course should be enough.
