Thanks to everybody for all the quick and useful responses. We have joy...
time to make Matlab play the Halelujah chorus on the Sun again. :-)
Here is a quick summary for the curious.
1. Bishop & Goldberg, Tensor Analysis on Manifolds, Dover books, $8.
Joe: great suggestion, I just ran out and got a copy from Quantum
books. It looks like pretty much what I was wanting.
2. Rings & Categories of Modules, Springer, $40. I tripped over this
while at the bookstore. I didn't purchase it (I want to see if our
library has it), but it appeared to have a good category-theoretic
treatment of tensors.
3. Kleppner & Kolenkov (I don't have the title). Haven't looked at it yet.
4. Fetter & Walecka, Theoretical mechanics of point particles and continua.
Haven't looked at it yet.
5. Goldstein, Classical Mechanics. Haven't looked at it yet.
Thanks again folks.
