About this book
This monograph covers the concept of cartesian tensors with the needs and interests of physicists, chemists and other physical scientists in mind. After introducing elementary tensor operations and rotations, spherical tensors, combinations of tensors are introduced, also covering Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. After this, readers from the physical sciences will find generalizations of the results to spinors and applications to quantum mechanics.

Reviews
"Overall, this book will be useful for chemists, physicists, and anybody who is interested in tensors, and related subjects. This book will provide a good base for further research on irreducible Cartesian tensors and their applications in quantum mechanics and other areas."
