Linear and Nonlinear Waves by G B Whitham

Linear and Nonlinear Waves by G B Whitham

Now in an accessible paperback edition, this classic work is just as relevant as when it first appeared in 1974, due to the increased use of nonlinear waves. It covers the behavior of waves in two parts, with the first part addressing hyperbolic waves and the second addressing dispersive waves. The mathematical principles are presented along with examples of specific cases in communications and specific physical fields, including flood waves in rivers, waves in glaciers, traffic flow, sonic booms, blast waves, and ocean waves from storms.

The re-issue of this excellent book on linear and nonlinear waves in paperback form is to be welcomed(Zentralblatt Math, Volume 940, No 15, 2000)

Gerald Beresford Whitham was a British-born American applied mathematician and the Charles Lee Powell Professor of Applied Mathematics of Applied & Computational Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology.
