Not an introductory text,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Acoustics (Hardcover)
This text in not an introductory work, it is geared toward upper division college or graduate level engineering work. By this I am referring to the math level in the book. If you are not willing to work with partial differential equations, integrals, dot products, cross products and dell operators stay away from this book, it is intended for engineering students and not for audio, broadcast, or film students looking for a greater understanding of sound/acoustics.Here is a list of the chapters:

But it ships very fast~

5.0 out of 5 stars
Textbook for upper-level or graduate course in acoustics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fundamentals of Acoustics (Hardcover)
This is a classic: it is frequently cited, even so long after publication. Be sure to check the binding: early printings were notorious for falling apart within weeks.
