Prior courses in solid mechanics : None.
Undergraduate major: Computational Mathematics
My strength related to this course: familiar with linear algebra and mulitivariables calculus
My weakness related to this course: poor intuition for mechanics models
Research group: Prof. Radovitzky's computational solid mechancis group at MIT
http://web.mit.edu/aeroastro/people/radovitzky/
Research direction: to implement discontinuous Galerkin method into solid mechanics, especially for strain gradient theory
This course will give me lots of knowledge and insight for solid mechacis models
I will study some other mechancis courses, and this course is a start point.
