In mathematics, a tensor is an algebraic object that describes a linear mapping from one set of algebraic objects to another. Objects that tensors may map between include, but are not limited to vectors and scalars, and, recursively, even other tensors (for example, a matrix is a map between vectors, and is thus a tensor. Therefore a linear map between matrices is also a tensor). Tensors are inherently related to vector spaces and their dual spaces, and can take several different forms – for example: a scalar, a tangent vector at a point, a cotangent vector (dual vector) at a point, or a multi-linear map between vector spaces.
