Description
"This is an introduction to wave behaviour and resonance suitable for first-year university and polytechnic students. The book's organisation is rather unusual in that it gives a relatively minor place to the wave equation, and concentrates instead on the principles of superposition and frequency analysis. This has the advantage of enabling the reader to appreciate more readily the nature of the similarities in behaviour of different kinds of waves and at the same time means that the opening chapters are considerably less mathematical than other books on waves."--Page 4 de la couverture.
