4 “So, tensors are…?” –Multidimensional arrays –N dimensional generalizations of scalars 1 dimensional vectors 2 dimensional matrices – Elements: Numbers Functions Differentials

5 Boussinesq’s Problem…Saada To The Rescue Given: –Surface on Semi-infinite Domain –Point Load Need: –Stress felt on all points in the material

6 Saada’s Solution – Stress Tensor Solve for the stress tensor on the left.

7 Visualizing Tensors Ellipsoids –Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues

8 Visualizing Tensors Hyperstreamline Generation

9 Visualizing Tensors Results

10 Other uses of Tensors… Human brain pathways recovered from DT-MRI data using an oriented tensor reconstruction algorithm (below)
