Description: Continuum mechanics is widely taught to graduate students in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering, providing the basis for further study in fluid and solid mechanics. However, presentations of the subject vary greatly in their level of formalism. Temam and Miranville provide a rigorous presentation of the underlying mathematics and physics of the problem, avoiding unnecessary use of function spaces. They build on this base to present core topics within the general themes of fluid and solid mechanics. Their text covers a wide range of topics, including viscous flow, magnetohydrodynamics, atmospheric flows, shock equations, turbulence, nonlinear solid mechanics, solitons, and the nonlinear Schrodinger equation.
