In the context of general relativity, a tensor is a mathematical object that generalizes scalars, vectors, and matrices, serving as a fundamental building block in the formulation of the theory. Tensors are defined in such a way that they can be manipulated independently of the specific coordinate system used, making them essential for expressing physical laws in a way that is invariant under coordinate transformations.
