Waves are essential phenomena in most scientific and engineering
disciplines, such as electromagnetism and optics, and different
mechanics including fluid, solid, structural, quantum, etc. They
appear in linear and nonlinear systems. Some can be observed
directly and others are not. The features of the waves are usually
described by solutions to either linear or nonlinear partial
differential equations, which are fundamental to the students and
researchers.Generic equations, describing wave and pulse
propagation in linear and nonlinear systems, are introduced and
analyzed as initial/boundary value problems. These systems cover
the general properties of non-dispersive and dispersive, uniform
and non-uniform, with/without dissipations. Methods of analyses are
introduced and illustrated with analytical solutions. Wave-wave and
wave-particle interactions ascribed to the nonlinearity of media
(such as plasma) are discussed in the final chapter.This
interdisciplinary textbook is essential reading for anyone in above
mentioned disciplines. It was prepared to provide students with an
understanding of waves and methods of solving wave propagation
problems. The presentation is self-contained and should be read
without difficulty by those who have adequate preparation in
classic mechanics. The selection of topics and the focus given to
each provide essential materials for a lecturer to cover the bases
in a linear/nonlinear wave course.
