Description
A First Course in Continuum Mechanics by Oscar Gonzalez and Andrew M. Stuart provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental balance laws of continuum mechanics, covering both isothermal and thermal theories. This textbook is designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduates taking courses in continuum mechanics, with prerequisites limited to basic linear algebra and differential equations. The book's unique approach derives the theories from the underlying balance laws, making it suitable for both applied mathematicians and engineers. With a focus on classroom use and self-study, each chapter includes a wealth of exercises, along with fully worked solutions to odd-numbered questions. A complete solutions manual is available upon request, and short bibliographies provide further reading at the end of each chapter. Suitable for courses in continuum mechanics, this textbook offers a thorough account of various classic theories of fluids and solids, making it an ideal resource for those seeking a solid foundation in the subject.
