Greetings Class,

A few people asked about additional resources on continuum mechanics, tensors, and finite element analysis.  The book I read on continuum mechanics was 
"A First Course in Continuum Mechanics" third edition by Y. C. Fung.  It was out-of-print when I bought it in 2001, but amazon appears to be selling it: http://www.amazon.com/First-Course-Continuum-Mechanics-3rd/dp/0130615242

I've heard lots of recommendations for 
"Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics for Finite Element Analysis" by Javier Bonet and Richard D. Wood.  I own a copy and have thumbed through it a few times.  It looks quite good.
Here's amazon's listing:
http://www.amazon.com/Nonlinear-Continuum-Mechanics-Element-Analysis/dp/0521838703
This may be the same thing: http://preterhuman.net/texts/science_and_technology/physics/Mechanics/Nonlinear%20Continuum%20Mechanics%20For%20Finite%20Element%20Analysis%20-%20Bonet,%20Wood.pdf

A great read on tensor analysis is "A Brief on Tensor Analysis" by James G. Simmonds.  I read it one weekend in my second or third year of grad school.  amazon listing: 
http://www.amazon.com/Brief-Tensor-Analysis-Undergraduate-Mathematics/dp/038794088X

I also mentioned "the best book on linear algebra in the universe" or something.  I said the cover had pencils.  Apparently there is a new (2005) edition without the pencils.  Its title is "Linear Algebra and Its Applications" by Gilbert Strang.  Amazon listing:
http://www.amazon.com/Linear-Algebra-Applications-Gilbert-Strang/dp/0030105676/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

Finally, I'll mention that Dover publishes a ton of cheap paperback books on these topics.  I can't vouch for any of them, though I do have several of them sitting on my bookshelf.
