DESCRIPTION:
1.1.. M.G. The course is intended to provide graduate students in mechanics with an understanding of electromagnetism and prepare them for studies on the interaction of the electric and magnetic fields with deformable solid continua. As such, it is imperative that the distinction between particle and continuum descriptions of matter be carefully made and that the distinction between that which is inherently linear and that which is intrinsically nonlinear be clearly delineated. I wish to acknowledge the contributions of a number of students and faculty who attended the lectures over the years and who, by their questions and suggestions, significantly improved some of the sections. Truesdell for his helpful suggestions, which
"A Nice Little Book" according to Michael R Goodman. I had the pleasure of taking courses from the author of this book for several semesters. I once asked him about the book, to which he replied, "It's a nice little book, isn't it?"Indeed it is. The author is a specialist in non-linear continuum mechanics and, I believe, assembled the
