Fluid Mechanics A Short Course For Physicists

One of the main goals of this book is to let you understand how the wind blows and how the water flows so that swimming or flying you may appreciate what is actually going on. Concepts introduced in the mechanics of particles were subsequently applied to optics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics etc; here you will see the ideas and methods developed for the mechanics of fluids, which are used to analyze other systems with many degrees of freedom in statistical physics and quantum field theory.
