In this
lecture Professor of Physics, Leonard Susskind, discusses covariant and
contra variant indices, tensor arithmetic, algebra and calculus, and the
geometry of expanding space time.
This Stanford Continuing Studies course
is the fourth of a six-quarter sequence of classes exploring the essential
