"United Kingdom of A, B, C and D E"
Value of A is?
Bonus points for filling in the rest without googling.

I could teach you tensors in a month. If you ever want tutoring just say "go" and you'll have it down, bro. Seriously.

I'm sure Scott can handle it
Few subjects are taught as poorly as vector and tensor analysis. It's just a matter of presenting it correctly from a non-mathematician's point of view. That doesn't mean less rigorous or correct, just less general.

You make an assumption...
... that I *want* to learn tensors. There's a reason I'm not a physicist or a mathematician or an astronomer... I don't *like* doing math. This has nothing to do with my ability to do math; it's all motivation. :-P

Without googling
England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
That is not exactly in order of aquisition. IIRC, England's claim to Ireland, asserted with varying degrees of success, goes back to the twelfth centry when the Pope gave Ireland to Henry I. And Northern Ireland corresponds closely (and not coincidentally) with the area in which England long had the strongest hold, aka "The Pale".

You are correct!
No, it's not in the order of acquisition, but it is in the order that rolls off the tongue best ;)

In which country is the law in question being examined?
We have different definitions for things over here you know. If it was a UK Law, you could use a UK definiton. When in Rome do as the Romans do and all that. :)
