Abstract
We show we can derive the so called polar representation of 2D symmetric second and fourth order real tensors essentially just relying on the spectral theorem for unitary tensors in the complex field. The use of a coordinate-free approach allows us to clearly and methodically detect rotation-invariant quantities and to readily (and directly) deduce the representation theorems.
