Cartesian tensor in classical continuum mechanics, the space of interest is usually 3dimensional euclidean space, as is the tangent space at each point.
A method of extending vector notation to quantities with more than three components was the use of dyadics, sums of terms consisting of dyads, or vectors written side by side with no product intended. The first part of this book begins with an introduction to matrices through linear transformations on vector spaces, followed by a discussion on the algebra of matrices, special matrices, linear equations, the eigenvalue problem, bilinear and quadratic forms, kronecker sum and product of matrices. Isotropic tensors tensors with components independent of the coordinate system are denoted isotropic. This book is more difficult going than jeffreys, but would make a good followup to it. Unlike general tensors, there is no distinction between covariant and contravariant indices for cartesian tensors.
The tensor product of two vector spaces is not a quotient of the cartesian product of those spaces.

On the other hand any unrestricted tensor automatically satisfies the definition of being a cartesian tensor, since the conditions for the latter are a subset of the conditions for the former. A cartesian tensor is defined through let a and b be two vectors, then tijaibj are the elements of a cartesian tensor. For example, a bc, with a 2e1 e2 e3, b e1 2e2 e3 and c e1 e2 e3, is a bc ab c 4e1 2e2 2e3. Each basis vector points along the x, y, and zaxes, and the vectors are all unit vectors or normalized, so the basis is orthonormal throughout, when referring to cartesian coordinates in three dimensions, a righthanded system is assumed and this is much.
