## Description

Buy A Student's Guide to Waves by Fleisch, Daniel (ISBN: 9781107643260) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: An in-depth look at a phenomenon (rather than a single topic) - A good mix of maths and interpretation of the physics of waves and some key wave-related phenomena. Need to be fairly comfortable with differential calculus (differentiating basic trig functions and some fairly non-threatening differential equations) but the book does walk you through most of the maths it uses and does it pretty well. Starts by building up a picture of waves that is both descriptive and mathematically based, so you feel you know the subject well and what the maths means, and then uses it to explore the physics of mechanical and electromagnetic waves and quantum wave functions. That's an unusual (and well chosen) mix of topics and for a single volume and the fact that it's done well makes it worth 5 stars. There are links to audio chapter summaries and online examples (which are quite helpful and will hopefully become more common in text books), so there's a fair amount of effort gone into making the content accessible and understandable. Probably not the book for someone trying to get a PhD between haircuts but good if you like a little patient explanation. Worth noting that on a Kindle the equations display as quite small images that won't resize, but they show up ok on the Kindle app for PC.
Review: Highly recommended - Despite having 2 engineering degrees, I still found this book practically useful. Daniel managed to explain a complex topic with simple language. The first few chapters provided a mathematical foundation for elaborating further concepts. This study guide is a must-have for any persons trying to understand the topic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended
*by V***W on 6 June 2020*

Despite having 2 engineering degrees, I still found this book practically useful. Daniel managed to explain a complex topic with simple language.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by C***H on 8 July 2020*

This is another excellent book by Daniel Fleisch. Waves may not seem like an interesting subject but the maths here is compelling and relevant to many other areas of physics and the authors do a great job explaining important concepts. The first chapter which introduces the reader to concepts linking vectors, imaginary numbers and the Euler equation is a must read.
