a x<?GjpM hbY5l}\5 This book is based on the lecture notes of courses given by the author over the
tIuCct- last decade at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg and the Technical
9J2NH|]c University of Berlin. Since the author is concerned with researching material theory
++^l]8 and, in particular, elasto-plasticity, these courses were intended to bring the
fSokm4]vg students close to the frontiers of today's knowledge in this particular field, an
=Lf,?"S opportunity now offered also to the reader.

L& The reader should be familiar with vectors and matrices, and with the basics of
C@'h<[v`1v calculus and analysis. Concerning mechanics, the book starts right from the beginning
V T\F]Oa# without assuming much knowledge of the subject. Hence, the text should
fR(d be generally comprehensible to all engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and
QD0"rxZJ others.
