The authors have backgrounds which are ideally suited for writing this
book. ...They have produced a compact, moderately general book which
encompasses many fluid models of current interest...The book is written
very clearly and contains a large number of exercises and their
solutions. The level of mathematics is that commonly taught to
undergraduates in mathematics departments. This is an excellent book
which is highly recommended to students and researchers in fluid
mechanics.
--Mathematical Reviews
The writing style is quintessential Truesdellania: purely mathematical,
breathtaking, irrepressible, irreverent, uncompromising, taking no
prisoners...The book is filled with historical nuggets...Its pure, exact
mathematics will baptize, enlighten and exhilarate.
--Applied Mechanics Review
The most positive aspect of this book is its brevity; a large number of
topics are covered within the space of a little more than 250 pages.
--Current Science
This advanced monograph presents one of the best new views on the
subject for those who like relative simplicity and certain abstractness
combined with mathematical rigor and elegance...The book should be
useful for graduates and researchers not only in applied mathematics and
mechanical engineering but also in advanced materials science and
technology...Each public scientific library as well as hydrodynamics
hand libraries should own this timeless book...Everyone who decides to
buy this book can be sure to have bought a classic of science and the
heritage of an outstanding scientist.
--Silikáty
All applied mathematicians, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers,
and engineering mechanics graduates and researchers will find the book
an essential reading resource for fluids.
