In spite of a somewhat difficult matter those students were able to endure and, as far as I know, are still fine. I wish the same for the reader of the book. Althoughthe presentbookcanbe referredto asatextbookonefinds only little plain text inside. I tried to explain the matter in a brief way, neverthe- lessgoingintodetailwherenecessary.Ialsoavoidedtediousintroductionsand lengthy remarks about the significance of one topic or another. A reader in- terested in tensor algebra and tensor analysis but preferring, however, words instead of equations can close this book immediately after having read the preface. The reader is assumed to be familiar with the basics of matrix algebra and continuum mechanics and is encouragedto solve at least some of numer- ous exercises accompanying every chapter. Having read many other texts on mathematicsandmechanicsIwasalwaysupsetvainlylookingforsolutionsto the exercises which seemed to be most interesting for me. For this reason,all the exerciseshere aresuppliedwith solutionsamountinga substantialpartof the book. Without doubt, this part facilitates a deeper understanding of the subject. As a research work this book is open for discussion which will certainly contribute to improving the text for further editions. In this sense, I am very gratefulforcomments,suggestionsandconstructivecriticismfromthereader. Ialreadyexpectsuchcriticismforexamplewithrespecttothelistofreferences which might be far from being complete. Indeed, throughout the book I only quotethesourcesindispensabletofollowtheexpositionandnotation.Forthis reason, I apologize to colleagues whose valuable contributions to the matter are not cited. Finally, a word of acknowledgment is appropriate. I would like to thank Uwe Navrath for having prepared most of the figures for the book. Fur- ther, I am grateful to Alexander Ehret who taught me first steps as well assome“dirty”tricksinLATEX, whichwereabsolutelynecessarytobringthe VIII Preface manuscript to a printable form. He and Tran Dinh Tuyen are also acknowl- edged for careful proof reading and critical comments to an earlier version of the book. My special thanks go to the Springer-Verlag and in particular to Eva Hestermann-Beyerle and Monika Lempe for their friendly support in getting this book published.
