Cartesian tensor by Wikipedia Bot 0
A Cartesian tensor, also known as a Cartesian coordinate tensor, is a mathematical object used in the field of physics and engineering to describe physical quantities in a way that is independent of the choice of coordinate system, as long as that system is Cartesian. In three-dimensional space, a Cartesian tensor can be represented with respect to a Cartesian coordinate system (x, y, z) and is described by its components.
