A Student’s Guide to Waves 1st Edition
Author: Daniel Fleisch ID: 1107643260
Book Description
Written to complement course textbooks, this book focuses on the topics that students find most difficult. It uses plain language to explain fundamental ideas, and features exercises and fully-worked examples. Ideal for undergraduates in physics and engineering, the book is supported by a suite of online resources.
About the Author
Daniel Fleisch is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Wittenberg University, where he specializes in electromagnetics and space physics. He is the author of several Student’s Guide books, including most recently A Student’s Guide to the Mathematics of Astronomy (Cambridge, 2013).
Laura Kinnaman is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Morningside College, where she carries out computational research in chemical physics and organizes the Physics Club.

I am a retired chemical engineer (Delft, Holland) revamping his knowledge of maths, in order to rediscover physics.
Like the other "Student’s guides" written by Daniel Fleisch, this one caused a sentiment of "why didn’t they tell me this before" ? Why are there so many textbooks full of unnecessary, non relevant detail, clobbering the main issues and just impeding true understanding ? Where the authors seem to concentrate on impressing their audience by their own knowledge, rather than fostering real understanding with their readers.
Great book, highly recommended ! (needless to say: I bought all Students’s guides written by Fleisch)
Once again Professor Fleisch has delivered a great guide. I own his famous "A Students Guide to Maxwell Equations" and instantly fell in love with it, and now I bought this new book and it didnt disappoint me at all. I must say there are some differences, this book is borderline between being a guide and a textbook, Its not comprehensive enough to be an actual textbook but its not as concise as the Maxwell guide.
The book felt a lot more verbose than the Maxwell guide, this one about waves is actually twice the size of the Maxwell guide. One could argue that its a more general topic, and it is, it will attract many different readers since it covers many different topics from mechanical motion, EM and even the Schrödinger wave equation. The author will provide good introductions to such topics, which is nice to have, however I kind of miss the beauty and the simplicity of the Maxwell guide, in which whenever you want to check something out, you can quickly find what you are looking for, in this Waves guide you need to go through a lot more paragraphs(even pages) of explanations to get the info that you need.
Overall I would say it was a great buy!
Very good coverage and descriptions of the mathematics of the wave equation. If you are a student trying to understand or a teacher trying to remember what was so troubling, this is well worth the price. Excellent descriptions of and comparison with various PDE’S related to the wave equation give you the intuition to see what’s so special and what the different features that matter really are. Comparisons are carefully selected to illustrate important features one by one, from PDE order to linearity vs. Nonlinear equations. Very good coverage of Euler relation in multiple ways to drive home the importance of this to analysis of waves makes Fourier theory and concepts like negative frequency pop with that …"duh, what was so confusing?"…clarity. Must read for anyone learning waves and wave equations.
