Title: A very good introduction to fluids
Review: The clarity of the writing and the step by step progression from general conservation laws, to integral and differential equations, to solvable problems, make this a great introduction to fluid mechanics for physicists and engineers. In addition to learning about fluids the reader will get lots of practice analyzing problems and applying mathematics that they have "learned" elsewhere. If you didn't learn it then, you will have to figure it out now, but luckily this material is exactly the kind of stuff you need to connect those abstract mathematical skills to the real world.The first printing of this first edition, has too many errors, but most of them have obvious corrections. Hopefully, later printings will correct most of these.I just asked the students in my class for which this is the text and they all agreed that they like the text, really liked the example problems and were sometimes confused by things that later turn out to be misprints.
Is the review positive or negative?
