Acoustics

"Acoustics" by William Fishburn Donkin provides a detailed exploration of the principles governing sound and vibration. This treatise delves into the theoretical underpinnings of acoustics, examining the properties of sound waves, their propagation, and the mathematical models used to describe them. Though published in 1884, the work remains relevant for its rigorous approach to the fundamental concepts of acoustics. Students and researchers interested in the history of physics and the development of acoustic theory will find this book to be a valuable resource. It offers insights into the scientific understanding of sound during the late 19th century and presents a comprehensive overview of the field as it was known at the time.
