      abstract = {The author has published many papers and books on  topological transformations for optimal analysis of  structures, where many methods and algorithms are  developed. However, the framework of this book generalizes  many concepts and makes the previously developed methods  conceptually more attractive. The aim of the present work  is two folds. On the one hand, it shows to mathematicians  how the apparently pure mathematical concepts can be  applied to the efficient solution of problems in structural  mechanics. On the other hand, it illustrates to engineers  the important role of mathematical concepts for the  solution of engineering problems. The present framework  provides efficient means for looking at problems and  developing ideas by transforming the models (structures,  networks, systems) to other spaces (higher dimension, lower  dimension, or identical dimension) to simplify the  problems. This book is attractive for those who look at the  deeper aspects of concepts and helps the reader to develop  his/her own ideas. In general, it opens a new horizon for  improving the existing methods in civil, mechanical, and  electrical engineering.},
