BIOEN 5201 - Textbook
There is not an official textbook for BIOEN 5201. However, there are several texts that cover different parts of the material in this class.
The following books are on 2-hour reserve at the Marriot Library, and optional reading assignments are listed next to most of the lectures in the syllabus:
Continuum Mechanics, A.J.M. Spencer, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1980 (call #QA808.2 .S63)
(This book has been re-issued by Dover Publications. It can be purchased from Amazon here for only $11.86 plus shipping. Although this is an optional textbook for the class, it is a good book and worth owning as a reference, both for this class and for the future.)
