Wave Motion (Texts in Applied Mathematics, No. 24)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... an excellent advanced introduction to the mathematical theory of wave motion. it is ideally suited to advanced undergraduate students and beginning postgraduate students ... one attractive feature of the book is the abundance of worked examples and exercises (with solutions available to teachers) ... this is a wonderful book whose reading I would recommend to any scientist interested in learning the mathematical theory of wave motion.' European Journal of Mechanics
'... the great strength of the book ... lies in the clarity of exposition of the mathematical solution of the wave equations and of the physical interpretation of these solutions ... this is an excellent book, which is thoroughly recommended ... it ought to become the standard textbook for anyone taking an undergraduate course in mathematical wave theory.' Journal of Fluid Mechanics
'... a clearly written book which covers a surprisingly wide variety of topics ... an excellent introduction to this fascinating area of applied mathematics.' A. Jeffrey, Zentralblatt für Mathematik
Book Description
Waves are a ubiquitous and important feature of the physical world, and, throughout history, it has been a major challenge to understand them. This introduction to the mathematics of wave phenomena is aimed at advanced undergraduate courses for mathematicians, physicists or engineers. Some more advanced material on both linear and nonlinear waves is also included, making the book suitable for beginning graduate courses. The authors assume some familiarity with partial differential equations, integral transforms and asymptotic expansions as well as with fluid mechanics, elasticity, and electromagnetism. The context and physics that underlie the mathematics is clearly explained at the beginning of each chapter. Worked examples and exercises are supplied throughout, with solutions available to teachers.
