The refered textbook represents a modern introduction to the wave theory and its various physical applications, and contains the following chapters: 1) Transverse waves on strings; 2) Transverse vibrations on strings; 3) Long waves on canals; 4) Surface waves on relatively deep water; 5) Characteristics and boundary conditions; 6) Transmission lines; 7) Linear isentropic isotropic elastodynamics; 8) Linear dilatational waves in thermoelastic and Voigt solids; 9) Unidirectional traffic flow; 10) Nonlinear plane dilatational waves in solids. The interesting account of the mathematical theories is combined with examples of their applications, various physical illustrations and numerous exercises (some of them are supplied by solutions). The book is written in a clear manner. It is suitable both for undergraduate students and for self-educating persons, and completely attains its object, which (according to the Preface) is ``to introduce the reader to the theory of waves and to bring him or her up to the level at which the advanced books and papers on the subject can be studied.
