What texts are there that cover classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and general relativity utilizing tensors and geometry almost exclusively? I've had a tough time finding such a book...
Is there any text on general relativity that does not heavily use tensors and geometry?
Tensor-based physics is a mathematical framework used to describe the laws of classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and general relativity. It is based on the use of tensors, which are mathematical objects that represent physical quantities and their relationships.
In classical mechanics, tensor-based physics is used to describe the motion of objects in a three-dimensional space. It allows for the calculation of forces, accelerations, and other physical quantities involved in the motion of objects.
In electrodynamics, tensor-based physics is used to describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. It allows for the calculation of electric and magnetic forces, as well as the propagation of electromagnetic waves.
In general relativity, tensor-based physics is the mathematical framework used to describe the theory. It is used to describe the curvature of spacetime, the behavior of matter and energy, and the nature of gravity.
Tensor-based physics allows for a unified and consistent description of physical phenomena in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, and general relativity. It also allows for the prediction of new phenomena and has been crucial in the development of modern theories in physics.
