Courses on acoustics very naturally begin with a study of vibrations, as a preliminary to the introduction of the wave equations. Both vibrations and waves, of course, are vastly important to all branches of physics and engineering. But it is very helpful to students to gain an understanding of mechanical waves before trying to comprehend the more subtle and abstract electromagnetic ones.This undergraduate-level text opens with an overview of fundamental particle vibration theory, and it 410 0$aDover Books on Physics 606 $aSound 606 $aPhysics$2HILCC 606 $aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics$2HILCC 606 $aAcoustics & Sound$2HILCC 615 0$aSound. 615 7$aPhysics 615 7$aPhysical Sciences & Mathematics 615 7$aAcoustics & Sound 676 $a534 700 $aRandall$b Robert H$01824226 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006983403321 996 $aAn Introduction to Acoustics$94391319 997 $aUNINA
