<p align="right">Last Update: <font color="#4f81bd">December 07, 2024</font></p> Tensors are a generalization of scalars (just a number), vectors (quantities with magnitude and direction), and matrices (arrays of numbers) to higher dimensions. - Scalar (Rank 0 Tensor): Mass, temperature (single value). - Vector (Rank 1 Tensor): Velocity, force (magnitude and direction). - Matrix (Rank 2 Tensor): Stress, moment of inertia (requires more than one direction to describe). ### Related Topics --- [[Home|Home]] | [[Measurements]] | [[Scalars]] | [[Vectors]] | [[Tensors]] | [[Spinors]]
