Authors:
- Provides graduate-level treatment of acoustics and vibration suitable for use in courses and for self-guided study
- Highlights fundamental physical principles that can provide independent tests of the validity of numerical solutions and computer simulations
- Demonstrates use of approximation techniques that greatly simplify the mathematics without substantial decrease in accuracy
- Includes end-of-chapter problems and "Talk like an Acoustician" boxes to highlight key terms introduced in the text
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
- Request lecturer material: sn.pub/lecturer-material
