Vectors
The cross product or vector product (occasionally directed area product, to emphasize its geometric significance) is a binary operation on two vectors in a three-dimensional oriented Euclidean vector space (named here
), and is denoted by the symbol X.
Given two linearly independent vectors a and b, the cross product, a × b (read “a cross b”), is a vector that is perpendicular to both a and b,[1] and thus normal to the plane containing them.

The exterior product or wedge product of vectors is an algebraic construction used in geometry to study areas, volumes, and their higher-dimensional analogues. The exterior product of two vectors u and v denoted by
is called a bivector and lives in a space called the exterior square, a vector space that is distinct from the original
space of vectors. The magnitude[4] of can be interpreted as the area of the parallelogram with sides u and v which in three dimensions can also be computed using the cross product of the two vectors.

An eigenvector (/ˈaɪɡənˌvɛktər/) or characteristic vector of a linear transformation is a nonzero vector that changes at most by a scalar factor when that linear transformation is applied to it. The corresponding eigenvalue, often denoted by , is the factor by which the eigenvector is scaled.
In rotational motion of a rigid body, the principal axes are the eigenvectors of the inertia matrix.
real symmetric matrices have real eigenvalues.
If A is an n × n matrix, then the sum of the n eigenvalues of A is the trace of A and the product of the n eigenvalues is the determinant of A.
Tensors:
A tensor is an n-dimensional array satisfying a particular transformation law.
Not every Matrix is a rank 2 Tensor.
A Rank 2 tensor can be represented as a matrix of numbers — in conjunction with an associated transformation law.
A Rank 3 tensor can be represented as a 3-dimensional array of numbers — in conjunction with an associated transformation law.

Ricci calculus is an extension of vector calculus to tensor fields (tensors that may vary over a manifold, e.g. in spacetime).

A covariant tensor, denoted with a lowered index (e.g., a_mu) is a tensor having specific transformation properties. A contravariant tensor is a tensor having specific transformation properties (cf., a covariant tensor). https://rinterested.github.io/statistics/tensors2.html |
