Customer Reviews

Covers almost everything, my go-to reference

This is my favorite text for continuum mechanics. It contains derivations not usually covered, and spends a lot of time educating the reader on the tensor notation. As a plus, it contains a supplement on functional analysis applications, which I still consult above some other texts on the subject. I have almost no complaints about this text. I cannot suggest it enough.

Classic

It's a classic, according to a professor/acquaintance at the University of Washington. Plus, it looks great on my bookshelf. Classy. Smart.
