Structural geology algorithms : vectors and tensors / / Richard W. Allmendinger, Nestor Cardozo, Donald M. Fisher.
"Structural Geology has been taught, largely unchanged, for the last 50 years or more. The lecture part of most courses introduces students to concepts such as stress and strain, as well as more descriptive material like fault and fold terminology. The lab part of the course usually focuses on...
