Hi,
I'm currently taking an Intro to Continuum Mechanics course right now and I've found the book hard to read. Its something like "First Year Continuum Mechanics by YC FUNG"....it takes a while to get things and its not very clear. Even the professor has stated that the book was a little hard to read, but his PhD advisor wrote it so he wants to read it because "it gives us insight not found elsewhere"...
RIIIGHT..."insight" when the book itself isn't very clear seems questionable to me
Anyways speaking today to my TA at office hours I found out from him that it?s actually one of the tougher to understand books out there. I asked if he had any recommendations and he said he couldn't think of any.
So now I'm looking to see if the vast swath of AT goers knows of any good Intro to Continuum Mechanics books.
If you guys could help me out and have any suggestions I'd appreciate it, thanks!
Btw I was thinking of putting this in "Highly Technical" since its not the kind of material the average AT knows about, but I'm not really asking about anything about the mechanics...just a book that doesn't blow balls
