In a book that will be required reading for engineers, physicists, and computer scientists, the editors have collated a number of articles on fluid mechanics, written by some of the world’s leading researchers and practitioners in this important subject area.

This exercise book is written for students of physics concentrating on Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Electromagnetism. Each of its 13 chapters includes a brief but thorough summary and essential formulas, plus typical problems and detailed solutions.

This book opens by setting the mathematical background (differential geometry, hypersurfaces embedded in spacetime, foliation of spacetime by a family of space-like hypersurfaces), and then turns to the 3+1 decomposition of the Einstein equations.
