MATRIX-TENSOR METHODS IN CONTINUUM MECHANICS
(Revised Second Printing)
by S F Borg (Stevens Inst. Tech.)
The purposes of the text are: To introduce the engineer to the very important discipline in applied mathematics-tensor methods as well as to show the fundamental unity of the different fields in continuum mechanics-with the unifying material formed by the matrix-tensor theory and to present to the engineer modern engineering problems.
