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.
