This book presents an introduction to the classical theories of
continuum mechanics; in particular, to the theories of ideal,
compressible, and viscous fluids, and to the linear and nonlinear
theories of elasticity. These theories are important, not only
because they are applicable to a majority of the problems in
continuum mechanics arising in practice, but because they form a
solid base upon which one can readily construct more complex
theories of material behavior. Further, although attention is
limited to the classical theories, the treatment is modern with a
major emphasis on foundations and structure
