Except for digressions in Chapters 8 and 17, this book is a highly
unified treatment of simple oscillations and waves. The phenomena
treated are "simple" in that they are de scribable by linear
equations, almost all occur in one dimension, and the dependent
variables are scalars instead of vectors or something else (such as
electromagnetic waves) with geometric complications. The book omits
such complicated cases in order to deal thoroughly with properties
shared by all linear os cillations and waves. The first seven
chapters are a sequential treatment of electrical and mechanical
oscillating systems, starting with the simplest and proceeding to
systems of coupled oscillators subjected to ar bitrary driving
forces. Then, after a brief discussion of nonlinear oscillations in
Chapter 8, the concept of normal modes of motion is introduced and
used to show the relationship between os cillations and waves.
After Chapter 12, properties of waves are explored by whatever
mathematical techniques are applicable. The book ends with a short
discussion of three-dimensional vii viii Preface problems (in
Chapter 16), and a study of a few aspects of non linear waves (in
Chapter 17)."
