Linear and Nonlinear Waves
Abstract
G B Whitham Chichester: J Wiley 1974 pp xvi + 636 price £12.15 Professor Whitham's book can be highly recommended as a comprehensive account of the mathematics of wave motion written with great knowledge and enthusiasm. It grew out of a course given to postgraduate mathematicians and physicists and contains material that one would expect in such a text; a discussion of characteristics and the formation of shocks; application to water waves and gas dynamics; group velocity, dispersion and wave patterns; the classical nonlinear results.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
