This document provides an overview of the content covered in an Advanced Mechanics of Solids course from August 3-16, 2015. The course covered topics including the formal definitions and physical interpretations of gradient and divergence, definitions of tensors, delta and alternating symbols, vector transformation rules, mathematical and geometrical definitions of strain, and strain compatibility using continuous and differentiable displacements as well as single-valued displacements proven through path independence and simple connectivity. References are provided for lecture notes and a textbook on elasticity.
