This reissue of the classic 1932 edition of Lamb's Hydrodynamics is an
indication of the lasting value of the work. Constantly in use since its
first publication in 1892, this book is the definitive reference work
for all fluid dynamicists. The new foreword by Professor R. Caflisch
highlights the prominence of this treatise in the field and outlines the
development of fluid mechanics that led to its publication. He also
resolves possible conflicts with modern notation. Despite the rapid pace
of research in modern fluid mechanics study and the advent of high-speed
computers, Lamb's work remains a relevant, timeless classic.
