====== Elasticity in Feynman Lectures ======
 
Richard Feynman was recognized for his excellent lectures. 
Feynman, along with Tomonaga and Schwinger, were recognized in 1965 with a Nobel Prize in Physics "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles."
This material is free and easily accessible.
These sections cover elasticity up to simple wave motion.

The prerequisite for 38-1 and 38-2 is algebra; for 38-3 it is partial differential equations, which is just an algebra with small quantities.
