Physics of Continuous Media (2nd ed.)

Suitable for any core physics program, this classroom-tested text takes a problems-based approach to teaching continuous media. This revised and expanded edition includes a new chapter on magnetohydrodynamics as well as additional problems and more detailed solutions. Each chapter begins with a summary of the definitions and equations that are necessary to understand and tackle the problems that follow. The text also provides numerous references throughout, including Landau and Lifshitz's famous
