EkStb# O&gwr This book is based on the lecture notes of courses given by the author over the
b6!Q!:GO& last decade at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg and the Technical
K~Au?\{
University of Berlin. Since the author is concerned with researching material theory
Wqs. oh and, in particular, elasto-plasticity, these courses were intended to bring the
im \ YL< students close to the frontiers of today's knowledge in this particular field, an
t6bWSz0 opportunity now offered also to the reader.
|t 65# 1 The reader should be familiar with vectors and matrices, and with the basics of
B`Or# G3ph calculus and analysis. Concerning mechanics, the book starts right from the beginning

/cL9 ?k;o be generally comprehensible to all engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and
NkA6Cp[Q,1 others.
