Thanks for this summary.

Even as a physicist I found it highly confusing when I got told in physics classes that a tensor is "just a thing (or object) that behaves like so under coordinate transformation". Like, what do you mean by "thing"? I have no intuition to this yet, I need it concise definitions! Fortunately I took a differential geometry class at the same time, which was really helpful.
