Everything about Penrose graphical notation
Graphical notation for multilinear algebra calculations
In mathematics and physics, Penrose graphical notation or tensor diagram notation is a visual depiction of multilinear functions or tensors proposed by Roger Penrose in 1971. A diagram in the notation consists of several shapes linked together by lines. Wikipedia →
