An Introduction Richard Fitzpatrick University of Texas, Austin, USA Institute for Fusion Studies, Department of Physics

“… There are surprisingly few good and more importantly recent, up-to-date textbooks available on the subject of Oscillations and Waves. Richard Fitzpatrick's Oscillations and Waves: An Introduction is an excellent addition to the existing literature on the subject. The emphasis is placed on physical interpretation rather than mathematical rigour, although the author certainly presents the material at the right mathematical level, commensurate with an advanced undergraduate course. The book will be equally useful for physics and engineering students, as well as mathematics students who want to get physical insight beyond the mathematical equations. …” —David Tsiklauri, Senior Lecturer in Astronomy, School of Physics and Astronomy, Queen Mary University of London, UK

Bridging lower-division physics survey courses with upper-division physics courses, this classroom-tested text develops a unified mathematical theory of oscillations and waves in physical systems. It helps students acquire a sound physical understanding of wave phenomena. Emphasizing physics over mathematics, the author includes many examples from discrete mechanical, optical, and quantum mechanical systems; continuous gases, fluids, and elastic solids; electronic circuits; and electromagnetic waves. He also provides complete coverage of advanced topics in waves, such as electromagnetic wave propagation through the ionosphere. • Guides students through the subject of oscillations and waves in physical systems using a unified approach • Offers examples from mechanical systems, elastic solids, electronic circuits, optical systems, and other areas • Includes numerous end-of-chapter exercises to test understanding
