A Treatise on the Mathematical Theory of Elasticity

THIS is the third edition of the classical treatise in the English language upon the theory of elasticity, and all students of the subject will be grateful to Prof. Love for having brought his masterly exposition of this difficult but fascinating branch of mathematical science up to date. The book is now thoroughly well established as par of the education of such mathematicians as have to deal with the engineering or physical applications of elasticity; indeed, it needs some hardihood, even for a specialist, to criticise it; every fresh perusal convinces the careful reader of the inadequacy of his own knowledge.
