This book provides a brief introduction to rational continuum mechanics in aform suitable for students of engineering mathematics and science.br Thepresentation is tightly focused on the simplest case of the classical mechanicsof nonpolar materials leaving aside the effects of internal structuretemperature and electromagnetism and excluding other mathematical models suchas statistical mechanics relativistic mechanics and quantum mechanics.brWithin the limitations of the simplest mechanical theory the author hadprovided a text that is largely selfcontained. Though the book is primarily anintroduction to continuum mechanics the lure and attraction inherent in thesubject may also recommend the book as a vehicle by which the student canobtain a broader appreciation of certain important methods and results fromclassical and modern analysis.br «
