The Levi-Civita tensor and Hodge dual

[edit]

(Current project in the sandbox)

The recent rewrite is due to Quondum - and is excellent! =) Many thanks! F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑ici 23:02, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ricci calculus

[edit]

(another current project in the sandbox)

Same remarks as previous section...

Although I strongly disagree with tucking the statement of van der Waerden notation into a ref where people will not see it easily - it has been reinstated. On the contrary spinors and their notation are even more unclear and confusing than tensors, so the link should be obvious for the reader's awareness, and stated as soon as possible (why leave it to the end, even under the "see also section"?). Also that article should be expanded to be the spinor analogue of Ricci calculus (for tensors). F = q(E+v×B) ⇄ ∑ici 23:11, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As you seem to concur that the purpose of such a statement in this context as a "Not to be confused with..." statement, you may wish to make this clearer by adding this qualifying phrase? But I'm not going to argue with your strongly held feelings... Quondum 06:56, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
