This textbook is based on lectures and tutorials given for several years at the Physics Department of Novosibirsk State University. It is constructed as a set of problems followed by detailed solutions and may act as a complementary text for standard courses on the physics of continuous media.

2. Vectors, tensors, Fourier transformation
3. The tensor of dielectric permeability Electro-magnetic waves in media
4. Natural optical activity. the Faraday and Kerr effects
5. Frequency dispersion and analytical properties of the permittivity e(co) the propagation of electromagnetic waves in dispersive media
6. Cherenkov radiation. Transition radiation
7. Non-linear interaction of waves Part II: Fluid Mechanics
9. Dynamics of ideal
10. The motion of viscous
11. Convection and turbulence
12. Acoustic waves
13. Shockwaves
14. Non-linear waves in dispersive media Solitons
15. The theory of elasticity
16. Mechanics of liquid crystals
