    Reviews

    "This book is written by notable experts in the field, and its content has been verified and used in university courses for thirty years. It is self-contained, and it includes a balance of mathematical background/derivations and applications to general problems (rather than restriction to solid mechanics, for example), and this it will be of high interest to students in applied mathematics, applied physics, as well as all branches of engineering mechanics."--John D. Clayton, University of Maryland, College Park, USA
