The Transformation Law For Two-point Tensor
Suppose we have two coordinate systems one primed and another unprimed and a vectors' components transform between them as
- .
For tensors suppose we then have
- .
A tensor in the system . In another system, let the same tensor be given by
- .
We can say
- .
Then
is the routine tensor transformation. But a two-point tensor between these systems is just
which transforms as
- .

Famous quotes containing the word law:
“The law before us, my lords, seems to be the effect of that practice of which it is intended likewise to be the cause, and to be dictated by the liquor of which it so effectually promotes the use; for surely it never before was conceived by any man entrusted with the administration of public affairs, to raise taxes by the destruction of the people.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
