Avengers Endgame is just a stream of numbers
But a grid can just be a number with a list of numbers. A tensor is just two numbers with a list of numbers. A n-tensor is just two lists of numbers. Two lists can be combined with a number to indicate when they split. If we put that number at the start of the list, then we just have a list.
Everything is just a list of numbers.
A tensor is a special box of numbers that doesn’t change under coordinate transformation.
Which is really a roundabout way of saying a tensor is a multilinear relationship between arbitrary products of vectors and covectors. They’re inherently geometric objects that don’t depend on a choice of coordinate system. The box of numbers is just one way of looking at a tensor, like a matrix is to a linear transformation on a vector space
a tensor is just an element of a tensor product. and a tensor product is just a way to multiply algebraic structures
A number is just a type of vector
*a subtype of vector
vector is a type not a kind :P
Can you all keep it down! You’re mathing too loudly for this time of night. Some of us have to get up early(ish).
A scalar is just a 0th order tensor
You really did a number on this one
He’s doing numbers!
Overly simplified math meme is bad. Take it down
These collections also happen to follow a few specific geometric rules.
