Reviews
Excellent clear discussions of Fluids. Very good examples. Dr Tim Gough, University of Bradford, UK
Excellent clear discussions of Fluids. Very good examples. Dr Tim Gough, University of Bradford, UK I've always used this text. I find it very comprehensive, with a logical layout, and pictched at a level that can be used by an undergraduate student, regardless of the level that they are at.
