Calling it an _algebraic_ object is exactly what obfuscates what tensors are all about. Tensors are not a collection of numbers, just as vectors are not collections of numbers. Vectors are geometric objects, as are tensors. *A tensor field is, in fact, a collection of real numbers at different * *positions in the field.
