The tensor theory is a branch of Multilinear Algebra that describes the relationship between sets of algebraic objects related to a vector space. Tensor theory together with tensor analysis is usually known to be tensor calculus. This thesis presents a formal category treatment on tensor notation, tensor calculus, and differential manifold. The focus lies mainly on acquiring and understanding the basic concepts of tensors and the operations over them. It looks at how tensor is adapted to differential geometry and continuum mechanics. In particular, it focuses more attention on the application parts of mechanics such as; configuration and deformation, tensor deformation, continuum kinematics, Gauss, and Stokes' theorem with their applications. Finally, it discusses the concept of surface forces and stress vector.
