Fluid Mechanics

by P.K. Kundu

* [1/5]

Ok - I have had no time to read any real books so I thought the least I could do was review a few of the books I have spent quality time with.

This book was disappointing. The graphics are poorly drawn and the text is difficult to follow. The material is covered in a good manner but the student is left to draw the pieces together independently. Probably the most annoying aspect of this textbook is the lack of example problems with full solutions. The odd problems don't have solutions so there is absolutely no way for the student to test knowledge or review for an exam using this book. In my opinion this book poor beyond belief and should not be used as a textbook. I admit that I recently purchased an alternative textbook to supplement this book.

Although the class using this is graduate level, I think an undergraduate text would be more appropriate than this sad book.
