{"product_id":"tensor-algebra-and-tensor-analysis-mikhail-itskov-9783642101038","title":"Tensor Algebra and Tensor Analysis for Engineers: With Applications to Continuum Mechanics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a gap between engineering courses in tensor algebra, and the treatment of linear transformations within classical linear algebra. This book addresses primarily engineering students with some initial knowledge of matrix algebra. Thereby, mathematical formalism is applied as absolutely necessary. The many exercises provided include solutions, enabling autonomous study. The last chapters address modern developments in the theory of isotropic and anisotropic tensor functions and their applications to continuum mechanics and might therefore interest PhD-students and scientists working in this area. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn recent decades, the absolute notation for tensors has become widely accepted and is now state-of-the-art for publications in solid and structural mechanics. This is opposed to a majority of books on tensor calculus referring to index notation. The latter one complicates the understanding of the matter especially for readers with initial knowledge. This is a modern textbook on tensor calculus for engineers in line with contemporary scientific publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mikhail Itskov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3642101038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783642101038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.55d","brand":"Mikhail Itskov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44616734966015,"sku":"9783642101038","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7f89004b-b1c7-4b93-a575-21d8d23d65f5.jpg?v=1703022014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tensor-algebra-and-tensor-analysis-mikhail-itskov-9783642101038","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
