| Summary |
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 |
