An Introduction to Tensors for Students of Physics and Engineeringby 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.
