This monograph presents the basic theorems of differential geometry in three-dimensional space, including a thorough coverage of surface theory. By means of a series of carefully selected and representative mathematical models this monograph also explains at length how these theorems are used in three-dimensional elasticity and in shell theory. The presentation is essentially selfcontained, with a great emphasis on pedagogy. In particular, no "a priori" knowledge of differential geometry or of elasticity theory is assumed, the only requirements are a reasonable knowledge of basic analysis, functional analysis, and some acquaintance with ordinary and partial differential equations.

Review:

From the reviews:

"This is a book about differential geometry and elasticity theory also published earlier as journal article. And, indeed it covers both subjects in a coextensive way that can not be found in any other book in the field. ... the list of references containing more than 120 items is representative enough and the interested reader should be able to find them among these." (Ivailo Mladenov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1100 (2), 2007)
