od"Oq?~/t ZL:nohB This book is based on the lecture notes of courses given by the author over the
</>;PnzE last decade at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg and the Technical
?i>.<IPOq University of Berlin. Since the author is concerned with researching material theory
ssoIC and, in particular, elasto-plasticity, these courses were intended to bring the
)|~pocXt< students close to the frontiers of today's knowledge in this particular field, an
]uI#4t~ opportunity now offered also to the reader.
b%2+g<UKh The reader should be familiar with vectors and matrices, and with the basics of
Q0Y0Zt,h calculus and analysis. Concerning mechanics, the book starts right from the beginning
q=M!YWz without assuming much knowledge of the subject. Hence, the text should
j="{^b be generally comprehensible to all engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and
S#/[>C b others.

~gNa<tg"1 recommendations for further reading. Throughout the text we quote only the
