Reviews

"Overall, the book remains a major resource for graduate students in ocean engineering and applied mathematics. The new material that has been added is certainly appropriate."Mathematical Reviews"Much of the introductory material is well presented, and followed by many specific examples, often with full mathematical detail ... These books can certainly benefit graduate students and researchers, and Part 2 is a worthwhile improvement over the earlier editions."Journal of Fluid Mechanics
