The reason probably is that tensors (in math/physics) can be represented as multi-indexed quantities, which are naturally expressed as multi-dimensional arrays in computers. 0-rank tensors are scalars, 1-rank tensors are vectors, 2-rank tensors can be represented as matrices (but strictly speaking are not matrices), and there are no specific names for higher-rank tensors. |
