Almost anyone actually doing research that involves continuum mechanics writes in a style that makes use of Gurtin's notation key ideas and concepts put forward in this book. 2) This book is not necessarily the best to learn from. I would never assign this book as a text in a class I would teach. The compact notation is not easy for a student to grasp. Indicial notation is preferable to Gurtin's notation as a student gets a handle on simple things like how many equations in how many unknowns does this statement represent. I would however expect any graduate student in solid mechanics to be fluent in direct tensor notation. 3) This book is often very subtle and nuanced. It takes a deep understanding of the subject to really get this book. Readers who complain that the material is not deep enough are very mistaken. The simple analogy is in physics comparing F=MA to the sentence "Force is the time rate change of momentum". To someone who knows physics the sentence is much more conceptually complete and conveys much more meaning than the simple physics 1 equation. To the novice the sentence would probably not be very deep, and is probably useless at solving homework problems. To sum up: If you are a researcher or graduate student who needs this book, you don't need this review. If you are a student seeing this material for the first time, purchasing this book will probably be a waste of your time. Come back to it in a few years. To students I would recommend: Continuum Mechanics for Engineers, Second Edition , or Continuum Mechanics --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/16306695-an-introduction-to-continuum-mechanics-volume-158-mathematics-in-science](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/16306695-an-introduction-to-continuum-mechanics-volume-158-mathematics-in-science) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
