We notice that a scalar is a tensor of rank zero, a vector is a first rank tensor, the 3by3 array just defined is a second rank tensor, etc. The third chapter extends tensor theory to spaces other than vector spaces, namely manifolds. In preparing this two volume work our intention is to present to engineering and science students a modern introduction to vectors and tensors. Objects that tensors may map between include vectors which are often, but not always, understood as arrows with length that point in a direction and scalars which are often familiar numbers such as the real numbers, and, recursively, even.
