Tensor product of fields

In mathematics, the tensor product of two fields is their tensor product as algebras over a common subfield. If no subfield is explicitly specified, the two fields must have the same characteristic and the common subfield is their prime subfield. The tensor product of two fields is sometimes a field, and often a direct product of fields; In some cases, it can contain non-zero nilpotent elements. The tensor product of two fields expresses in a single structure the different way to embed the two fields in a common extension field. (Wikipedia).

A Concrete Introduction to Tensor Products

The tensor product of vector spaces (or modules over a ring) can be difficult to understand at first because it's not obvious how calculations can be done with the elements of a tensor product. In this video we give an explanation of an explicit construction of the tensor product and work

Proof: Uniqueness of the Tensor Product

Universal property introduction: https://youtu.be/vZzZhdLC_YQ This video proves the uniqueness of the tensor product of vector spaces (or modules over a commutative ring). This uses the universal property of the tensor product to prove the existence of an isomorphism (linear bijection) be

What is General Relativity? Lesson 14: The covariant derivative of a covector

We start by demonstrating that contraction commutes with directional covariant derivative and then derive the CFREE and COMP expressions for the covariant derivative of a covector.
