2。推荐理由

我自己是学流体的，为了专业需要，认真读过此书。这本书详细介绍了振动和波的基础知识，从物理概念入手，逐步过渡至数学理论，层层相扣，步步深入。是低年级学生学习振动和波动的很好材料，对研究学者也具有很高的参考价值。

本书的出版历程也从一个侧面反映了该著作的经典，它经历了六个版本，从1968年的第一版一直到2005年的第6版，时间跨度之长，而魅力依旧，实属教科书中罕见。

5th Editorial Reviews

Review
\"...suitable...for the American undergraduate sophomore-level course...good, solid experimental perspective throughout and emphasis on impedance as a unifying concept...\" (American Journal of Physics, Vol. 69, No. 8, August 2001)


6th Editorial Reviews

Review
\"This is an excellent textbook, full of interesting material clearly explained, and fully worthy of being studied by future contributors ...\" (Journal of Sound and Vibration: 293; July 2006)

Book Description
The main theme of this highly successful book is that the transmission of energy by wave propogation is fundamental to almost every branch of physics. Therefore, besides giving students a thorough grounding in the theory of waves and vibrations, the  book also demonstrates the pattern and unity of a large part of physics.
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and has been redeisgned to meet the best contemporary standards. It includes new material on electron waves in solids using the Kronig-Penney model to show how their allowed energies are limited to
Brillouin zones, The role of phonons is also discussed. An Optical Transform is used to demonstrate the modern method of lens testing. In the last two chapters the sections on chaos and solitons have been reduced but their essential contents remain.

As with earlier editions, the book has a large number of problems together with hints on how to solve them. The Physics of Vibrations and Waves, 6th Edition will prove invaluable for students taking a first full course in the subject across a  variety of disciplines particularly physics, engineering and mathematics.
