This book introduces field theory as required in solid and fluid
mechanics as well as in electromagnetism. It includes the necessary
applied mathematical framework of tensor algebra and tensor
calculus, using an inductive approach particularly suited to
beginners. It is geared toward undergraduate classes in continuum
theory for engineers in general, and more specifically to courses
in continuum mechanics. Students will gain a sound basic
understanding of the subject as well as the ability to solve
engineering problems by applying the general laws of nature in
terms of the balances for mass, momentum, and energy in combination
with material-specific relations in terms of constitutive
equations, thus learning how to use the theory in practice for
themselves. This is facilitated by numerous examples and problems
provided throughout the text.
