Vibrations and Waves

This introductory text emphasises physical principles, rather than the mathematics. Each topic begins with a discussion of the physical characteristics of the motion or system. The mathematics is kept as clear as possible and includes elegant mathematical descriptions where possible.

Designed to provide a logical development of the subject, the book is divided into two sections, vibrations followed by waves. A particular feature is the inclusion of many examples, frequently drawn from everyday life, along with more cutting-edge ones.

Each chapter includes problems ranging in difficulty from simple to challenging and contains hints for solving these problems. Numerous worked examples are included throughout the book.

Vibrations and Waves by George C. King is an ideal resource for anyone seeking to understand the physical principles behind vibrations and waves.
