> Just knowing basic calculus and linear algebra will cover the majority of applications. I'm confused by your comment. It's a book on tensor calculus, not a book on linear algebra or calculus (or a book on machine learning), right? It's like seeing a book on calculus and complaining linear algebra is sufficient. Or seeing a book on linear algebra and complaining matrix multiplication is sufficient. The text isn't teaching how to massage N-dimensional NumPy arrays, it's teaching the algebra surrounding an object.
