Abstract
The following lectures give a short indroduction into modern continuum mechanics. The presentation omits many details and should motivate the reader to study the references.
A precursor to this manuscript was the basis of a part of a graduate course held in August 1990 at the Institute of Applied Mechanics, National Taiwan University, Taipei. The Author is thankful to Professor Yih-Hsing Pao for the invitation and the opportunity to teach the course at his institute.
