Not much of a stretch.

Sheeat
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
