Description
This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to acoustics. It begins with the basic physical ideas and then balances the fundamentals with engineering aspects, applications, and electroacoustics. It also covers music, speech, and the properties of human hearing. The concepts of acoustics are exposed and applied in room acoustics, sound insulation in buildings, noise control, underwater sound, and ultrasound. Scientifically thorough, but with mathematics kept to a minimum, this book is the perfect introduction to acoustics for students at any level of mechanical, electrical, or civil engineering courses. It is also accessible for architects, musicians, and sound engineers who require a technical understanding of acoustics and their applications.
