Description
Book Synopsis
Die Einführung wendet sich an Physikstudierende im Grundstudium und präsentiert dementsprechend viele Fragen, Aufgaben und Übungen. Auf Mathematik wird so weit wie möglich verzichtet. Primäres Ziel ist es, Entwicklung und Aufbau des Wissensgebiets verständlich darzustellen.From the Back Cover

Vibrations and Waves, G.C. King
Vibrations and Waves is based on an introductory course given regularly by the author. The text provides the student with a thorough grounding in the theory of vibrations and waves.
Throughout the book, the fundamental principles of vibrations and waves are emphasised so that these principles can be applied to a wide range of oscillating systems and to different kinds of waves.
The text, which is divided into two sections, vibrations followed by waves, follows a logical progression from the simple harmonic oscillator to waves in continuous media.
Vibrations and Waves includes:
- Vibrations and waves beautifully and concisely described in terms of the mathematical equations used throughout the book
- Worked examples throughout
- Problems ranging in difficulty from simple to challenging
Solutions and hints to the problems at the end of the book
Review Quotes
"Each chapter is accompanied by a set of problems that form an important part of the book. The book could be used by undergraduate students taking a course in oscillation or wave physics." (Zentralblatt MATH, 2010)
"The text concisely describes vibrations and waves through mathematical equations with an emphasis on their physical meaning." (Outrider, January 2010)
