Summary
Summary
This text for the first course in fluid mechanics maintains the rigour and level of earlier editions. The third edition concentrates primarily on improving the pedagogical aspects of the book. This edition was developed while the author taught a junior fluids course enrolling a large number of students of somewhat diverse backgrounds, making for an effective opportunity for improving the book, particularly from a pedagogical standpoint.
