Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition: Researchers in fluid dynamics and applied mathematics will enjoy this book for its breadth of coverage, hands-on treatment of important ideas, many references, and historical and philosophical remarks. (MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS, 2003g) [...] presents a broad panorama of model problems encountered in nonviscous Newtonian fluid flows. (International Aerospace Abstracts 42/3, 2002) This well-organized book can be recommended to students, teachers and researchers with an interest in asymptotic methods and rigorous foundations of nonviscous fluid mechanics. (Zentralblatt MATH, 992/17, 2002) This book touches on a number of topics in fluid mechanics at an advanced level. ... I believe the book could be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of anyone working in theoretical fluid mechanics. It would also be a valuable supplemental text for a post-master course in fluid mechanics. (Anthony Leonard, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 517, 2004)
