Learning Outcomes
1.The student can find a covariant or a contavariant vector or a tensor or the metric tensor.
2. The student knows what a continuous medium is whether it is in solid state or it a fluid (liquid or gas).
3. The student learns the motion of a contnuous medium, the velocity field and the notion of the trajectory of a particle.
4. The student learns the deformation tensor.
5. The student learns the stess tensor and the shear stress.
6. The student learns the continuity equation anthe equations of Euler for the motion of the continuous medium.
