About this book
With the increasing demand for continuum modeling in such diverse areas as mathematical biology and geology, it is imperative to have various approaches to continuum mechanics and elasticity. This book presents these subjects from an applied mathematics perspective. In particular, it extensively uses linear algebra and vector calculus to develop the fundamentals of both subjects in a way that requires minimal use of coordinates (so that beginning graduate students and junior researchers come to appreciate the power of the tensor notation).
Reviews
“My opinion about the book is really positive. … I advise everybody interested in teaching linear elasticity to have a look at it.” (Giuseppe Saccomandi, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2020)
