This second edition of \u003cb\u003eOscillations and Waves: An Introduction \u003c\/b\u003econtains new widgets, animations in Python, and exercises, as well as updated chapter content throughout; continuing to ease the difficult transition for students between lower-division courses that mostly encompass algebraic equations and upper-division courses that rely on differential equations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssuming familiarity with the laws of physics and college-level mathematics, the author covers aspects of optics that crucially depend on the wave-like nature of light, such as wave optics. Examples explore discrete mechanical, optical, and quantum mechanical systems; continuous gases, fluids, and elastic solids; electronic circuits; and electromagnetic waves. The text also introduces the conventional complex representation of oscillations and waves during the discussion of quantum mechanical waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFully updated throughout and featuring new widgets, animations, and end of chapter exercises to enhance understanding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers complete coverage of advanced topics in waves, such as electromagnetic wave propagation through the ionosphere\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes examples from mechanical systems, elastic solids, electronic circuits, optical systems, and other areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Fitzpatrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138479713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138479715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.65d\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Richard Fitzpatrick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120938905855,"sku":"9781138479715","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0ab9c81-3c53-491f-aebe-64f65b107119.jpg?v=1687417112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/oscillations-and-waves-richard-fitzpatrick-9781138479715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
