		A vector -field- is a smooth map assigning a vector to each point in space (or spacetime) and similarly for tensor fields.
		Thus, the matter tensor -field- assigns a tensor (a multilinear map) to each point in spacetime.
		A change of coordinates on spacetime induces a change in basis in the tangent space at each point in spacetime, and thus induces changes in the components of the multilinear map at each event.

		Multilinear algebra extends the methods of linear algebra.
		Just as linear algebra is built on the concept of a vector and develops the theory of vector spaces, multilinear algebra builds on the concept of a tensor and develops the theory of 'tensor spaces'.
		The theory tries to be comprehensive, with a corresponding range of spaces and an account of their relationships.

		In multilinear algebra, a multilinear form is a map of the type
		As the word "form" usually denotes a mapping from a vector space into its underlying field, the more general term "multilinear map" is used, when talking about a general map that is linear in all its arguments.
		An important type of multilinear forms are alternating multlinear forms which have the additional property of changing their sign under exchange of two arguments.

		The Bourbaki group's treatise Multilinear Algebra was especially influential -- in fact the term multilinear algebra was probably coined there.
		Its benefit is that by re-expressing problems in terms of multilinear algebra, there is a clear and well-defined 'best solution': the constraints the solution exerts are exactly those you need in practice.

	Proposal: How to deal with Spaceman
		None the less, if one views the transform as just a multilinear operator then it can be analyzed in the same way as other multilinear operators, and applying knowledge of how tensors behave to it can sometimes be helpful.
		Therefore, L does not map vectors to vectors and is not a tensor.
		The Lorentz transform certainly is such a map, and can therefore be reasonably called a "tensor", though most relativity textbooks don't mention that fact and no explicit use is ever made of its tensorial properties.

	Physics Help and Math Help - Physics Forums - what is a tensor
		A "form", as the term is generally used, is a covariant tensor field, mapping points on a manifold into covariant tensors at each point; it is not a tensor per se.
		In general, a covariant tensor is a multilinear map from vectors to the real numbers.
		A mixed tensor is a multilinear map from some number of vectors and some number of covectors into the real numbers.

		For the first isomorphism, the natural map is really the identity, but for the second, there really is no natural isomorphism; the two are simply two 3-dimensional vector spaces, all of which are isomorphic.
		Thus the two have the same dimension, and so any injective linear map is a bijection.

	Determinant explained (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Determinants are important both in calculus, where they enter the substitution rule for several variables, and in multilinear algebra.
		Determinants are used to calculate volumes in vector calculus: the absolute value of the determinant of real vectors is equal to the volume of the parallelepiped spanned by those vectors.
		As was pointed out above, it is possible to unambiguously define the determinant of any linear map f : V → V, if V is a finite-dimensional vector space.

		Instead of the map \eqref{SolMap}, the results of this paper combined with that of \cite{[Eardley/Moncrief]} yield a morphism \Beqn APsiUnivSol (A\sol,\partial_t A\sol,\Psi\sol): \L(B_k)\to \L(C(\Bbb R,B_k)) \Eeq such that \eqref{APsiUnivSol} solves \eqref{YMEqu}, and its time zero Cauchy datum, $(A\sol,\partial_t A\sol,\Psi\sol)(0)\in\O^{B_k}(\L(B_k))$, is just the standard coordinate superfunction $(A\Cau,\dot A\Cau,\Psi\Cau)$.
		The most straightforward way to do the enhancement mentioned is a chart approach; since the supermanifolds we are going to use are actually all superdomains, and only the morphisms between them are non-trivial, we need not care here for details.
		If $E$, $F$ are spaces of generalized functions on $\rdm$ which contain the test functions as dense subspace then the Schwartz kernel theorem tells us that the multilinear forms $u_{(kl)}$ are given by their integral kernels, which are generalized functions.
