Abstract
In this chapter we develop somewhat quickly the basic facts of tensor algebra, assuming the reader is familiar with linear algebra. Tensor algebra should be thought of as a natural development of the theory of functions in several vector variables. To some extent it is equivalent, at least in our setting, to this theory.
