An Introduction

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Suitable for researchers and graduate students in fluid dynamics, astrophysics, and other areas of physics, this book clearly elucidates the dynamics and behavior of waves and oscillations in various mediums. It presents different types of waves and oscillations that can be observed and studied from macroscopic to microscopic scales. The authors describe applications in astrophysics, include simple exercises to give readers a hands-on grasp of the basics, and provide a large list of bibliographic sources that enable readers to research more technical aspects.
