Geometrical Language of Continuum Mechanics
«'The book is suitable for graduate students in the field of continuum mechanics who seek an introduction to the fundamentals of modern differential geometry and its applications in theoretical continuum mechanics. It will also be useful to researchers in the field of mechanics who look for overviews of the more specialized topics. The book is written in a very enjoyable and literary style in which the rich and picturesque language sheds light on the mathematics.' Mathematical Reviews»
Epstein presents the fundamental concepts of modern differential geometry within the framework of continuum mechanics. Divided into three parts of roughly equal length, the book opens with a motivational chapter to impress upon the reader that differential geometry is indeed the natural language of continuum mechanics or, better still, that the latter is a prime example of the application and materialisation of the former.
