You develop a unifying, mathematically rigorous approach to mechanics. Through (Cartesian) tensors, you understand a universal framework of mechanical principles, which applies to all materials and integrates classical treatment of fluids and solids with more recent developments in rheology. This theoretical development is put into context through extensive use of examples drawn from “real world” applications.
