An Introduction to Tensors for Students of Physics and Engineering
by Joseph C. Kolecki - Glenn Research Center
The book should serve as a bridge to the place where most texts on tensor analysis begin. A semi-intuitive approach to those notions underlying tensor analysis is given via scalars, vectors, dyads, triads, and similar higher-order vector products.

Symbolic Tensor Calculus on Manifolds: a SageMath Implementation
by Eric Gourgoulhon, Marco Mancini - arXiv.org
These lecture notes present a method for symbolic tensor calculus that runs on fully specified smooth manifolds (described by an atlas), that is not limited to a single coordinate chart or vector frame, and runs even on non-parallelizable manifolds.

Tensor Trigonometry
by A.S. Ninul - FIZMATLIT
The tensor trigonometry is development of the flat scalar trigonometry from Euler classic forms into general multi-dimensional tensor forms with vector and scalar orthoprojections. The book describes fundamentals of this new mathematical subject.
