If T transformsa into c and b into d, we write Ta = c and Tb = d.If T has the following linear properties:where a and b are two arbitrary vectors ... understood that manyinstructors have used this book as one of the texts for a beginning graduate course in continuum mechanics. It is this latter knowledge that has motivated us to ...

If ej isnormal to the reflection plane (e2 and 63 are parallel to this plane), find a ... the normal to the reflection plane is transformed into its negative and vectorsparallel to the plane are not altered:Tej = -ClTe2 = e2Te3 = e3Thus,Preface to the First...
