I have not really finished studying linear algebra, I have to admit. The furthest I have gotten to is manipulating matrices a little bit (although I have used this in differential equations to calculate a Wronskian to see if two equations are linear independent, but again, a determinant is pretty basic). But I tried looking at tensors, and I am having a hard time distinguishing between a matrix and a tensor. What are the differences other than Einstein summation convention? I know I have to just hit the grind stone and finish learning the basics of linear algebra, but hopefully someone can enlighten me a bit about the differences.
