I think part of this is “if you have a linear algebra background”. There are a few different explanations of tensors, and different explanations make sense for different people.
- cfgauss2718 2y agoYes, the “multi linear map” definition is accessible to an undergraduate who has taken linear algebra. However, the more common meaning of tensor in physics, like the metric tensor of spacetime, requires some more sophisticated background to understand (differential geometry, Lie Groups come to mind).
