The intention, through the lectures, is to present quite a range of mathematical ideas, primarily to show what is possible and what, currently, is of particular interest. Water waves of large amplitude can only be fully understood in terms of nonlinear effects, linear theory being not adequate for their description. Taking advantage of insights from physical observation, experimental evidence and numerical simulations, classical and modern mathematical approaches can be used to gain insight into their dynamics. The book presents several avenues and offers a wide range of material of current interest. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, the book should be of interest to mathematicians (pure and applied), physicists and engineers. The lectures provide a useful source for those who want to begin to investigate how mathematics can be used to improve our understanding of water wave phenomena. In addition, some of the material can be used by those who are already familiar with one branch of the study of water waves, to learn more about other areas. The lectures cover background material as well as aspects that represent the state-of-the-art. We therefore commend this collection of lectures to both the novice and the expert 650 0$aDifferential equations 650 0$aPartial differential equations 650 0$aMathematical physics 700 1 $aEscher, Joachim$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$066887 700 1 $aJohnson, Robin Stanley 700 1 $aVillari, Gabriele 700 1 $aConstantin, Adrian$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0477754 773 0 $aSpringer eBooks 776 08$iPrinted edition:$z9783319314617 856 40$uhttps://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-31462-4$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web 907 $a.b14351432$b03-03-22$c09-10-18 912 $a991003555239707536 996 $aNonlinear Water Waves$91749138 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale013$b09-10-18$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gsz $h0$i0
