The focus lies mainly on acquiring an understanding of the principles and ideas underlying the concept of 'tensor'. We have not pursued mathematical strictness and pureness, but instead emphasise practical use (for a more mathematically pure resumé, please see the bibliography). Although tensors are applied in a very broad range of physics and mathematics, this booklet focuses on the application in special and general relativity.
