9snyX7/!L last decade at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg and the Technical
^s(X VVA University of Berlin. Since the author is concerned with researching material theory
a a Y Q< and, in particular, elasto-plasticity, these courses were intended to bring the
{ d2f)ra. students close to the frontiers of today's knowledge in this particular field, an
!K^Z5A_; opportunity now offered also to the reader.
WJh;p: q[ The reader should be familiar with vectors and matrices, and with the basics of

calculus and analysis. Concerning mechanics, the book starts right from the beginning
U37?P7i's without assuming much knowledge of the subject. Hence, the text should
