"I do not think at all that I am able to present here any procedure
of investiga tion that was not perceived long ago by all men of
talent; and I do not promise at all that you can find here
anything_ quite new of this kind. But I shall take pains to state
in clear words the pules and ways of investigation which are
followed by ahle men, who in most cases are not even conscious of
foZlow ing them. Although I am free from illusion that I shall
fully succeed even in doing this, I still hope that the little that
is present here may please some people and have some application
afterwards. " Bernard Bolzano (Wissenschaftslehre, 1929) The
following book results from aseries of lectures on the mathematical
theory of turbulence delivered by the author at the Purdue
University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics during the past
several years, and represents, in fact, a comprehensive account of
the author's work with his graduate students in this field. It was
my aim in writing this book to give to engineers and scientists a
mathematical feeling for a subject, which because of its nonlinear
character has resisted mathematical analysis for many years. On
account vii i of its refractory nature this subject was categorized
as one of seven "elementary catastrophes." The material presented
here is designed for a first graduate course in turbulence. The
complete course has been taught in one semester."
