Tensors are linear functions with more than 1 input. But we can also treat them as functions with only a single input, by just sticking all the inputs together into a bigger object, using tensor glue. We talk about nested tables, and how to transform a tensor to a new basis. We also give you some hints about the confusing index placement and Einstein notation, in case you want to study tensors more deeply.

The best way to learn more about tensors and how they transform, is to watch the Youtube playlist by Eigenchris. It's amazing. I can't recommend it enough.
