This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 217.158.210.179 (talk) at 23:56, 28 March 2003 (tensor analysis). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

In tensor analysis, a mixed tensor is a tensor which is neither covariant nor contravariant. At least one of the indices of a mixed tensor will be a subscript (covariant) and at least one of the indices will be a superscript (contravariant).
