The course syllabus in 2018 by Zhao Li:

[seisman]

I'm not sure if we really want to include topics like strain and stress. They're important but really boring.

[core-man]

I think stress and strain is just in foundation part. they can be added separately any time later. I don't want to work on it now either.

[core-man]

I prefer Peter and Aki's book contents.

[seisman]

Yes, we can work on the interesting parts first. I actually don't mind changing the file names or chapter/section structures later.

[core-man]

@seisman FYI, I transferred this issue from maintenance to seismology.
