Space time with generalized covariant recurrent energy momentum tensor by Bhattacharyya, A.; De, T.; Debnath, D. / Tamsui Oxford Journal of Mathematical Sciences Vector spaces, multilinear mappings, dual spaces, tensor product spaces, tensors, symmetric and skew-symmetric tensors, and exterior or Grassmann algebra are described in the initial chapters, with definitions and examples provided.
