Media reviews

"There is a uniquely useful aspect of Oertel's text that will ensure that most teachers of structural geology and geomechanics will want a copy and perhaps even make it required reading for their courses: the problems."--Eos
"The text is excellent for someone with a good math background who wishes to learn continuum mechanics in a rigorous manner or for someone who needs a refresher course. . . .The text is clearly written and concisely reviews matrices and tensors." --GSA Today
"This remarkable book, well written and organized, should have broad appeal for geoscientists. . . .What will impress readers is the clarity achieved in presenting difficult mathematical concepts. . . . This book is one of the best written on vector and tensor mathematics."--Journal of Geoscience Education
