Spherical basis, Cartesian tensor

 * ... that because a Cartesian tensor is usually reducible, the rotation properties of a tensor are more naturally expressed in a spherical basis?

 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough and neutral. But the hook needs a source, and the lack of inline citations is a real issue. (Technically this is irrelevant to DYK, but although the subjects are clearly notable, these articles are more like extracts from a textbook on algebraic geometry than encyclopedia entries. There is no background, nothing about who developed the theorems, and little about their significance.) At minimum they need inline cites to online sources, and given the very technical nature I would say they need some sort of certification from an applied mathematician.

 * I appreciate the nominations - but it's far too early for them to be nominated for anything beyond "start" class.
 * Sources can be moved inline anytime - I was trying to get the structure of the articles organized before juggling citations around, some citations will be moved inline and added later today or tomorrow.
 * The "textbook" styles occur because they are taken from extracts of textbooks (not word for word, obviously), and will gradually become encyclopedic prose.
 * History sections are important and would be there if I had sources about them.
 * It takes time. Regards to all, M&and;Ŝc2ħεИτlk 06:55, 29 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Articles have not changed since original review, and will likely not be edited to meet DYK requirements any time soon. Closing the nomination, with thanks for the submission. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:59, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
