DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Waves are a ubiquitous and important feature of the physical world, and throughout history it has been a major challenge to understand them. They can propagate on the surfaces of solids and of fluids; chemical waves control the beating of your heart; traffic jams move in waves down lanes crowded with vehicles. This introduction to the mathematics of wave phenomena is aimed at advanced undergraduate courses on waves for mathematicians, physicists or engineers. Some more advanced material on both linear and nonlinear waves is also included, thus 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 an acquaintance 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book aims to give a thorough grounding in the mathematical tools necessary for research in acoustics. Twelve authors, all highly-respected researchers in the field of acoustics, provide a comprehensive introduction to mathematical analysis and its applications in acoustics, through material developed for a summer school in mathematics for acoustics researchers funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.Mathematical Methods, Wave Motion, Aeroacoustics and Signal Processing are covered in fourteen chapters by authors including Keith Attenborough (Hull), John Chapman (Keele), Trevor Cox (Salford), Chris Linton and Maureen McIver (Loughborough), and Nigel Peake (Cambridge). There are worked examples, exercises and suggestions for further reading where appropriate. This book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in acoustics and will form an important reference source for researchers in the field./a
