This book treats parts of the mathematical foundations of three-dimensional elasticity using modern differential geometry and functional analysis. It is intended for mathematicians, engineers, and physicists who wish to s ~ e this classical subject in a modern setting and to see some examples of what newer mathematical tools have to contribute.
