Product Description: As the use of single crystals in scientific and technological applications has become increasingly important, so has an understanding of the variation of physical properties with crystalline direction. Such knowledge is needed to maximize the performance of solid state devices and many useful effects can be produced only in materials of the correct orientation...read more

Product Description: This book provides a systematic development of tensor methods in statistics, beginning with the study of multivariate moments and cumulants. The effect on moment arrays and on cumulant arrays of making linear or affine transformations of the variables is studied...read more

Text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students covers the algebra, differentiation, and integration of vectors, and the algebra and analysis of tensors, with emphasis on transformation theory (view table of contents)
