Product Description
Applications of elastic wave phenomena are becoming ever more important in telecommunications (signal processing), medicine (echography), metallurgy (non-destructive testing) and in other fields, too. For example, millions of wave filters are currently produced each month for mobile phones. The objective of this first of two volumes is to study the different mechanisms of propagation in isotropic and anisotropic media. The main topics treated in this volume are an introduction of the main features for the simple case of fluids, tensorial expressions for the elasticity and piezoelectricity of crystals, solutions of the general equation of propagation in the form of slowness surfaces, and a study of the various types of guided waves (Rayleigh wave, Love wave, Lamb wave). The companion book, Vol. II, describes the generation and applications of the free and guided waves introduced in the present volume. ... Read more

Product Description
Written in an appealing and informal style, this text is a self-contained second course on mathematical methods in linear algebra and multivariate calculus. The prerequisites are elementary courses in linear algebra and calculus, but the author has maintained a balance between a rigorous theoretical and a "cookbook" approach, so that the material will be accessible to students who have not studied mathematics in depth. Indeed, as much of the material is normally available only in technical textbooks, this book will have wide appeal to students whose interests are in application rather than theory.The book is amply supplied with examples and exercises: complete solutions to a large proportion of these are provided. ...

Engineering GNVQs require students to take multiple choice test papers for all units. This new series of photocopiable question banks provides copious material for students to practice this style of question. The questions are presented in the form of 13 model test papers, each comprising 20 questions, as the GNVQ tests do. Answers are printed at the back of the book.


The pilot GNVQ has revealed that many students found particular difficulties in tackling multiple choice style questions in maths. Used flexibly for tests and practice exercises, this pack will be the key to success in the GNVQ tests for many students.

Good transaction
Bought the book, got the book in expected amount of time, the book was the exact one I ordered.No complaints.

seriously, not worth the money
it's been said before, but it bears repeating:

the text itself is understandably a bit short in explaining details that you should already know; after all, all these topics would never fit into a single book otherwise.i say this, even though it still frustrates the hell out of me when i get stumped.

the solutions manual is a different story.when i got it in the mail, i immediately knew it would be useless.i didn't even need to open it to know that much.very few problems are covered, and without detail.it's not worth carrying around and it's not worth the price.

if you're considering a SSM for this book, if you think you'll need help figuring out this material,
save your money and get a cramster subscription instead.they have this book, this edition.

The Worst Service Delivery I have Experienced on Amazon
I ordered a book on August 25 and paid for expedited delivery. After a week, I sent him an email inquiring about my item. After 9 days he sends an email confirming delivery to me by USPS. As of September 4, I have still not received the item. This is my worst buying experience on Amazon and I hope sellers such as this will be prohibited from further selling on Amazon

Kreyszig will live forever in our hearts
It's really sad to know that Professor Kreyszig died unexpectedly on December 12, 2008 during a trip to Europe. Nevertheless, his scientific legacy will remain with us forever. Besides its target audience (i.e., traditional engineers), also I strongly recommend this book to any wannabe financial economist or quant, due to the pedagogical treatment of this book about tons of math concepts and techniques that are bread-and-butter in modern finance (linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, Fourier Transforms, complex analysis, and so forth).The mastery of the material covered in this book is a prerequisite to start the study of stochastic differential equations and other advanced concepts in financial mathematics that are not included in this book.

Not bad
Very difficult problems, and somewhat difficult to follow at times, but what can you expect from mathematics of this level? Overall, the book was decent, but that could have done more to make it easier to read and use, like including practical examples, which the book lacks almost entirely. ... Read more
