• A.J.M Spencer (2004), Continuum Mechanics, Dover Publications. An excellent introduction to continuum mechanics. You should own a copy for your personal library.
• L.E. Malvern (1969), Introduction to the Mechanics of a Continuous Medium, Prentice-Hall. A good reference for continuum mechanics.

[edit] Learning materials Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the lesson (lessons are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing! You should also read about the Wikiversity:Learning model. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple projects - and you are encouraged to cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.
