Acoustics: Basic Physics, Theory, and Methods
- Book Review,
by Paul Filippi
From Book News, Inc.
Based on lecture notes corresponding to a six-month course given to postgraduate students at the University of Aix-Marseille, France. Presents the general theory of acoustics and vibro-acoustics, and explains the main concepts necessary to read more specialized publications. The theory is supported by both classic analytical methods and contemporary mathematical techniques. Exercises are grouped together in the last chapter. First published in French in 1994 as nrale/>.

"...this book will be useful for those who apply theoretical and numerical methods to acoustic propagation and radiation problems."
Review
"Overall, I liked the book, and I surely would recommend it for the library of anyone involved in advanced acoustics... I will...use it as source material."

Book Description
The book is devoted to the very basis of acoustics and vibro-acoustics. The physics of the phenomena, the analytical methods and the modern numerical techniques are presented in a concise form. Many examples illustrate the fundamental problems and predictions (analytic or numerical) and are often compared to experiments. Some emphasis is put on the mathematical tools required by rigorous theory and reliable prediction methods.
Key Features
* a series of practical problems, which reflect the content of each chapter
* reference to the major treatises and fundamental recent papers
* current computing techniques, used in problem solving
