Summary
The main goal consist in the elements of tensor algebra and tensor analysis in
cartesian and/or orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. The properties of
tensor fields are studied using local and global characteristics. Applications
are illustrated above all in the frame of static and dynamic elasticity as well
as on several problems of the electromagnetic fields in anisotropic media.
