Tensor has different meanings in different fields of science and engineering. Alot of people are lazy and call tensor fields tensors. As you know math enables us to understand the physical universe. This is a branch of alegbra used to understand things more easily. Its used in math generally to extend understanding of arrays of data to understand physical terms. Einstein used in realitivity and you need alot of time to spend on algebra.

What are tensors?
A vector is a group of numbers in one dimensions; if you have such arrangements of numbers in more than one dimension, you get a tensor. Actually, a vector is simply a special case of a tensor (a 1st-order tensor).
What is the difference between tensors and matrices?
A scalar, which is a tensor of rank 0, is just a number, e.g. 6 A vector, which is a tensor of rank 1, is a group of scalars, e.g. [1, 6, 3] A matrix, which is a tensor of rank 2, is a group of vectors, e.g. 1 6 3 9 4 2 0 1 3 A tensor of rank 3 would be a group of matrix and would look like a 3d matrix. A tensor is the general term for all of these, and the generalization into high dimensions.

When was zero first used in mathematical operations?
it was used when it was used haha
What do you mean by tensor?
Tensors are geometric objects that describe linear relations between vectors, scalars, and other tensors.

Which skateboarding trucks are better thunders or silvers cause you really need a pair of trucks and i have furys that suck that's y i need to change the trucks?
Personal prefence both are outstanding trucks ok tensors are good but theyr heavy thunders are light weight an just as strong as tensors i have used both an i think thunders are way better...ive been skating for 5 years
Is every tensor is a vector?
No. A vector is actually a first order tensor as opposed to all tensors being vectors (vector quantities could be considered a subset of the set of all tensor quantities) because if you were to take a vector in three spatial dimensions A it can be defined by the equation A=A1e1+A2e2+A3e3 and also follows the tensor transformation laws given by A'i=αi'kAk for instance. Tensors however are actually more generalised objects which include vectors, scalars (zeroth order tensors) and more complicated systems.
How much does a high school student learn about tensors in Senior Mathematics?
Depending in which grade level a high school student is in, the subject of tensors in Senior Mathematics may vary. Mostly, the tensor analysis is covered between Grade 9-12. More intensely in grade 12, when Mathematics is taken as a specialized subject.

What are 2 wrist extensors that follow the radius?
Ex-tensorcarpiradial-islong-usandex-tensercarpiradial-isbreves are the two ex-tensors that fallow radius.
What is difference between vector and tensor?
Tensors are simply arrays of numbers, or functions, that transform according to certain rules under a change of coordinates. Scalars and vectors are tensors of order 0 and 1 respectively. So a vector is a type of tensor. An example of a tensor of order 2 is an inertia matrix. And just for fun, the Riemann curvature tensor is a tensor of order 4.
