Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text provides an elementary introduction to the mathematical description of wave motion. The only mathematics assumed is that which would be found in an A-level calculus course. The book begins with a simple case of the vibration of a single particle and then considers two-particle systems and normal modes. Vibration on strings and springs are then covered, and the book finishes with a description of general wave properties such as the doppler effect and interference.
