Synopsis

The classical physics of oscillations and waves is developed here at a more advanced mathematical level than is customary for second-year courses. The detailed explanation of the phenomena provides a sound basis for the introduction to wave mechanics that follows. A chapter on nonlinear waves and solitons, as well as contributions on chaos and associated phenomena broaden the concepts of wave behavior, while introducing the reader to important topics in current wave physics. Directed primarily at undergraduates in physics, mathematics and engineering, this will also be useful as a reference for graduate students, and for professors looking for examination questions. This revised second edition contains a number of new examples and exercises.
