The Power of Positive Thinking

  • Chapter
Invariant Methods in Discrete and Computational Geometry

Abstract

Supersymmetric algebra is introduced as a natural language to study tensors. A new symbolic method for the representation of skewsymmetric tensors is given. As an application, various properties of skewsymmetric tensors are derived.
