A Student's Guide to Waves Enhanced eBook
Waves are an important topic in the fields of mechanics, electromagnetism and quantum theory, but many students struggle with the mathematical aspects. Written to complement course textbooks, this enhanced eBook focuses on the topics that students find most difficult. Retaining the highly popular approach used in Fleisch's other Student's Guides, the enhanced eBook uses plain language to explain fundamental ideas in a simple and clear way. Exercises and fully-worked examples help readers test their understanding of concepts, making this an ideal enhanced eBook for undergraduates in physics and engineering trying to get to grips with this challenging subject. A wealth of additional material supports the enhanced eBook, including a collection of audio summaries for each section, audio introductions to each chapter, animated figures, interactive worked-examples, and interactive end-of-chapter exercises with solutions. Readers can access this material quickly, easily, and at the most relevant point in the text from within the enhanced eBook or at www.cambridge.org/wavesguide.
