King Vibrations and Waves is based on an introductory course given regularly by the author. The text provides the student with a thorough grounding in the theory of vibrations and waves. Throughout the book, the fundamental principles of vibrations and waves are emphasised so that these principles can be applied to a wide range of oscillating systems and to different kinds of waves. The text, which is divided into two sections, vibrations followed by waves, follows a logical progression from the simple harmonic oscillator to waves in continuous media. Vibrations and Waves includes: * Vibrations and waves beautifully and concisely described in terms of the mathematical equations used throughout the book * Worked examples throughout * Problems ranging in difficulty from simple to challenging Solutions and hints to the problems at the end of the book
