2. Tensors in finite dimension

We now define the most general contravariant and covariant objects: tensors. These are obtained either intrinsically from multilinear forms on E, which we shall now define, or as arrays associated with the bases of E and subject to certain rules when changing base.

Note: the first definition requires a mathematical formalization. On first reading, you may be satisfied with a study of paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2
