Ideal for engineering students with some knowledge of matrix algebra, this text bridges the gap between tensor algebra and the treatment of linear transformations in classical linear algebra. This revised second edition has additional examples and exercises.

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)
There is a large gap between the engineering course in tensor algebra on the one hand and the treatment of linear transformations within classical linear algebra on the other hand. The aim of this modern textbook is to bridge this gap by means of the consequent and fundamental exposition. The book is addressed primarily to engineering students with some initial knowledge of matrix algebra. Thereby the mathematical formalism is applied as far as it is absolutely necessary. Numerous exercises provided in the book are accompanied by solutions enabling an autonomous study. The last chapters of the book deal with modern developments in the theory of isotropic and anisotropic tensor functions and their applications to continuum mechanics and might therefore be of high interest for PhD-students and scientists working in this area.
This second edition is completed by a number of additional examples and exercises. The text and formulae are thoroughly revised and improved where necessary.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This second edition is completed by a number of additional examples and exercises. In response of comments and questions of students using this book, solutions of many exercises have been improved for a better understanding. Some changes and enhancements are concerned with the treatment of sk- symmetric and rotation tensors in the rst chapter. Besides, the text and formulae have thoroughly been reexamined and improved where necessary. Aachen, January 2009 Mikhail Itskov Preface to the First Edition Like many other textbooks the present one is based on a lecture course given by the author for master students of the RWTH Aachen University. In spite of a somewhat di cult matter those students were able to endure and, as far as I know, are still ne. I wish the same for the reader of the book. Although the present book can be referred to as a textbook one nds only little plain text inside. I tried to explain the matter in a brief way, nevert- lessgoinginto detailwherenecessary.Ialsoavoidedtediousintroductions and lengthy remarks about the signi cance of one topic or another. A reader - terested in tensor algebra and tensor analysis but preferring, however, words instead of equations can close this book immediately after having read the preface.
