Essentially there are two variational theories of liquid crystals
explained in this book. The theory put forward by Zocher, Oseen and
Frank is classical, while that proposed by Ericksen is newer in its
mathematical formulation although it has been postulated in the
physical literature for the past two decades. The newer theory
provides a better explanation of defects in liquid crystals,
especially of those concentrated on lines and surfaces, which
escape the scope of the classical theory. The book opens the way to
the wealth of applications that will follow.
