Review: This Classic Edition is a reprint of the 1977 edition, which was the text for the second term’s course in Applied Mathematics. It develops and uses mathematic to analyse continuum models of fluid flow and solid deformation. The book is divided into four parts: Geometrical prerequisites for 3-dimensional continuum mechanics; Problems in continuum mechanics; Water waves; and Extremum principles. The emphasis is on clarity explanation and motivation. There are also exercises (with hints and answers).
