Features: This book is a monograph on tensor analysis, divided into 6 chapters. It introduces the basic concepts and algebraic operations of vectors and tensors, second-order tensors, tensor functions and their derivatives, and tensor analysis in curvilinear coordinates. This book is a systematic monograph on tensor analysis and also an easy-to-teach textbook. It is divided into 6 chapters, covering: the basic concepts and algebraic operations of vectors and tensors, second-order tensors, tensor functions and their derivatives, tensor analysis in curvilinear coordinates, tensor analysis on surfaces, and the derivative of tensor field functions with respect to parameter \( t \). Each chapter includes examples and exercises. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in mechanics and related fields, as well as a reference book for teachers, researchers, and engineering in relevant fields. This book is a revised edition of the 1986 version of "Tensor Analysis," reflecting the new achievements from the author's teaching and research over the past decade. The content has been significantly updated and revised.
