{7X~!e|w }_%P6 This book is based on the lecture notes of courses given by the author over the
D#0O[F@l## last decade at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg and the Technical
i/$SN-5}1 University of Berlin. Since the author is concerned with researching material theory
#>[wD#XJV and, in particular, elasto-plasticity, these courses were intended to bring the
'[ 0YIn students close to the frontiers of today's knowledge in this particular field, an
@ i1q ]0 opportunity now offered also to the reader.
UA(;fZ @ The reader should be familiar with vectors and matrices, and with the basics of
lT ,+bU calculus and analysis. Concerning mechanics, the book starts right from the beginning
