## Description

desertcart.com: Vibrations and Waves (Manchester Physics Series): 9780470011898: King, George C.: Books

Review: A good choice for undergrad courses on the subject - I have been using this book for teaching undergraduate students at Engineering Faculty and, as you may guess, I also use MIT book. The book by King does exactly what it is promised by its author (good consistency on its purpose which is not often the case), it is short, attractive and not frightening, it is also self contained, logical development of the topics and so on . So it is an excellent introductory book to the subject based on solved problems and examples. It is very good to have a book that allow students to go forward by themselves, and solved exercises at the end are a good way if stimulating to go beyond what is there. So students can start from those and work out variations, they can try to generalize the results and so on. The book is well written and chapters are in a natural order, and again, it is good (positive) that the author dedicates some time, detailed analysis of the problems (even that for well trained students may look too long explanations). I do recommend the book for a first encounter with the specific subject for students in general undergraduate courses from engineering schools, however for students in physics it maybe necessary to have a book with more deep approach to the topics but in that case it will come as very good complement. It is not easy for me to do a comparative analysis with the MIT book because my impression is that they have slightly different purposes and the MIT book needs additional material and complements, but I like both, so I use both, and what I want to insist is the possibility of King's approach to provide material for a self guided learning into the subject.
Review: Self Study - Buy This Book - If you are learning about waves and vibrations for the first time, either on your own or through a course, this book is a must. The author does an incredible job guiding the reader through each section. Even though I was self-studying, I never once felt lost while reading this book. The exercises are always fair and give tremendous insight into the material. This book is a must!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow! Great resource, well written.
*by F***R on September 4, 2018*

I only wish I had this book in 1975 when I was in college. Fantastic resource and so well written that beginning science students with a basic calculus background should be able to navigate through it and get a great introduction to wave equations.
