About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Most books on continuum mechanics begin with a more or less lengthy introduction into this mere mathematical topic. … With the present introduction to tensors, Itskov has filled this gap. … It is written in a clear and modern style … . contains a lot of interesting representations, which will be appreciated by researchers in the field. … All in all, the book can be clearly recommended both for students and researchers in the field of continuum mechanics." (Technische Mechanik, Vol. 28 (3), 2008)
