Re: Tensors

For mathematical physics in general, I can recommend MAthematics for Physicists by Dennery and Krzywicki. Its a dover book, so it's probably less then $20. It covers a variety of topics, including the theory of anayltic functions, linear vector spaces, function spaces, and diff eq. It has a light introduction to tensor calculus, which fleshes out the basic ideas.

Flanders has a book on differential forms that might cover tensors, I haven't looked at it in awhile. A good book for differential forms though, I think the title is something like Differential Forms with Applications to the Physical Sciences.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
