 Great book September 18, 2008
J. M. Rojas
This is a very usefull book for those one who want to learn tensor calculus with a lot of applications of Relativity.
I enjoy it. An of course Amazon.com rules!!!!!

Este libro te lleva de la mano, como cualquiera de la serie, para un mejor entendimiento del calculo tensorial, no lo recomendaria para se el texto principal de un curso, sino un apoyo para ejercitar y repasar, es bastante claro y de gran ayuda, ya que sus ejemplos y desarrollo son de utilidad para poder desarrollar habilidad en el manejo de la notacion tensorial. Puede ser de gran ayuda para un curso de metodos matematicos de la fisica.
 Could have been good April 5, 2008

This text is good in principle. However, I find that it has several typographical errors which reduce its value as a tool for learners.
Good first inmersion in tensor calculus January 11, 2008

If it is desired to get rid of much of the reluctance in tensor calculus and fight powerfully with Einstein index summation and relief the pains with Christoffel symbols and Riemann Curvature Tensor, essential for General Relativity understanding then, I think this book, with solved problems and many others for practicing, is a good guide to make General Relativity and Cosmology more pleasant. I am a self-learner of Cosmology and of these kind of mathematical topics, I used many books from the more theoretical to simpler ones and think that this and the Sokolnikoff's (Tensor Analysis and Its Applications) are a good couple of references to understand this branch of tools for Physics and making me more happy dominating the practice with these objects. Later on, in case of more interest in going deeply in the axiomatic bases of tensors (possibly by using Gravitation of Misner, Thorne and Wheeler), at least one can already have the calculus foundations to go on. I know many other wonderful books, but to me this is the one I found the best to condensate the most of all my doubts in the subject and.... go on.
