{"product_id":"lectures-on-fluid-mechanics-9780486488172","title":"Lectures on Fluid Mechanics","description":"A readable and user-friendly introduction to fluid mechanics, this high-level text is geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Mathematicians, physicists, and engineers will also benefit from this lucid treatment.\u003cbr\u003eThe book begins with a derivation of the equations of fluid motion from statistical mechanics, followed by examinations of the classical theory and a portion of the modern mathematical theory of viscous, incompressible fluids. A considerable part of the final chapters is devoted to the Navier-Stokes equations. The text assumes a familiarity with functional analysis and some complex variables, and it includes an especially valuable discussion of the modern function theoretic approach to solving partial differential equations. Numerous exercises appear throughout the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarvin Shinbrot (1928-1987) was a Professor of Mathematics and Engineering Sciences at Northwestern University and later a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50412555796754,"sku":"9780486488172","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_cec6fa0b-033b-4b7f-bc69-680b963c12c8.jpg?v=1729316627","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/lectures-on-fluid-mechanics-9780486488172","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
