Herzlich Willkommen!
This reference and textbook gives a detailed explanation of waves and oscillations in classical physics. These classical phenomena are dealt with at a more advanced level than is customary for second-year courses. All aspects of classical wave physics are presented, including the mathematical and physical basis needed for extended understanding. Finally several chapters are devoted to important topics in current wave physics. Special attention is given to nonlinear waves, solitons, chaotic behavior and associated phenomena. The new edition contains improvements such as full development of Green's functions, a broadening of the treatment of wave mechanics and a closer integration with classical mechanics, plus more examples and problems. Directed primarily at undergraduate students in physics, mathematics and engineering, Wave Physics  is also useful as a reference for graduate students, and for professors looking for exercises and examination problems in related courses.

From the reviews:  "The book has qualities that one looks for in an undergraduate text: good organization, lucid text, well-thought-out sample problems, and problems to develop solid understanding of the subject." Applied Mechanics Reviews "… A stimulating book for the undergraduate who is strong mathematically." Contemporary Physics
