Amazing introductory text on waves
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is an exceptionally well written text. The book starts out covering mehcanical waves in an extremely detailed and easy to follow method(every step is clearly shown and explained). It then moves to covering a variety of topics logically building on what you've learned; topics such as gasses, sound, electromagentic, shocks, optics, nonlinear waves, solitons, and more are all covered while introducing all the mathematics needed such as fourier analysis and complex variables. In my opinion this should be a recommended text for all undergraduates in the physical sciences (certainly in physics and engineering). It provides a great foundation on which to build a more detailed study of all wave phenomena.
