BOOKS: The text for both semesters is Landau and Lifshitz,
Fluid Mechanics. The bookstore has copies now.
The auxiliary text for the first semester is Batchelor, Introduction
to Fluid Mechanics. While both texts will be available on reserve,
I recommend to anyone with strong interests in fluid dynamics to purchase
both books. The paperback edition of Batchelor's book (new and used) is widely
available on the internet. (The auxiliary text for the second semester will
be Courant and Friedrichs, Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves.) Some
other useful books will be avilable at the Courant Library Reserve Desk. The
complete list is
given below.
Other books may be added later.
