100% of the profs teaching me math (as a Physicist) were mathematicians, and I had to wait for Twitter to finally find someone able to give me a half-understandable definition of tensor

So you agree with me that mathematicians and physicists see tensors in fundamentally different ways

For me, this confrontation between physics and mathematics is pointless. Sure it is nice to laugh about it but does not lead anywhere fruitful.

I have been dealing with the gap between physicists and mathematicians understanding of the same material for 35 years. I built a nontrivial party of my career on it.

I was about to type up something along the lines of "tensors are pretty intuitive if you understand this and that, I'm surprised they don't just cover those first" and then the list of things got longer and longer until I realized my tweet was going to be bad

please do when /if you have time! there's no such thing as too many explanations of tensors.

When I started studying I started with physics and math (being minors of each other actually). But after a year I was so frustrated with physics that I changed to math with logic as a minor.

Not knowing the math being used in physics is literally what made me switch too. Then took a pdes course and suddenly quantum made sense. About to take stochastics so maybe thermo will follow too.

This specific topic omg!! I viscerally FEEL the deficit in my knowledge of tensors because I've never gotten a satisfying explanation from any of my physics professors

This made me tenser. I took a intro physics class in freshman year and the prof started to do Fourier analysis and I was very not happy with the lack of rigor.
