State-of-the-art analysis of geological structures has become
increasingly quantitative but traditionally, graphical methods are
used in teaching. This innovative lab book provides a unified
methodology for problem-solving in structural geology using linear
algebra and computation. Assuming only limited mathematical
training, the book begins with classic orientation problems and
progresses to more fundamental topics of stress, strain and error
propagation. It introduces linear algebra methods as the foundation
for understanding vectors and tensors, and demonstrates the
application of geometry and kinematics in geoscience without
requiring students to take a supplementary mathematics course. All
algorithms are illustrated with a suite of online MATLAB functions,
allowing users to modify the code to solve their own structural
problems. Containing 20 worked examples and over 60 exercises, this
is the ideal lab book for advanced undergraduates or beginning
graduate students. It will also provide professional structural
geologists with a valuable reference and refresher for
calculations.
