The mattens package for vector/tensor typesetting Author: Danie Els Copyright (c) 2001-2022 Danie Els Licence: LaTeX Project Public License 1.3c DESCRIPTION =========== The mattens package contains the definitions to typeset vectors and tensors as used in the engineering community for the representation of common vectors and tensors such as forces, velocities, moments of inertia, etc. This package adheres to the well-defined and documented notation as proposed by Hassenpflug:. 1. Hassenpflug, W.C., "Matrix Tensor Notation Part I. Rectilinear Orthogonal Coordinates." Comput. Math. Appl., vol. 26, no. 3, 1993, pp. 55-93. 2. Hassenpflug, W.C., "Matrix Tensor Notation Part II.

For a basic installation on a TDS compliant system, move the following files to the following directories: <texmf>/tex/latex/mattens/ mattens.sty <texmf>/source/latex/mattens/ mattens.ins mattens.dtx <texmf>/doc/latex/mattens/ readme mattens.pdf mattens_sample.pdf mattens_sample_src.zip
