Understanding the causes and effects of explosions is important to experts in a broad range of disciplines, including the military, industrial and environmental research, aeronautic engineering, and applied mathematics.
Offering an introductory review of historic research, Shock Waves and Explosions brings analytic and computational methods
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The historical treatment of the subject is, in my opinion, extremely interesting and at U.S. $100 the book is well worth reading."
- SIAM Review
"The mathematics of explosions has spawned many original ideas in the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations, and this book shows that it remains a very fruitful topic of study and research."
