Riassunto

Excerpt from A Textbook on Sound

Preface IN writing the following pages the aim has been \to previde students with a text-book on Sound, embracing both its experimental and theoretical aspects.

To make it more widely useful, the mathematical portions are restricted to the elements of the calculus. Thus, when Fourier's Theorem or Differential Equations are introduced, the treatment is simple and the physical bearings of the problem are carefully discussed, so as to meet the needs of those readers having no previous acquaint ance with such methods. All higher analysis is entirely excluded. Indeed, much of the work is intelligible to those not familiar with the calculus at all. For, in the parts where it is used, simpler alternative methods are often provided, chiefly for the sake of emphasising certain important physical aspects of the subject.

Experiments suitable either for exercise or lecture illustration, are described in some detail, and distinguished by smaller type and numbered headings.

The various typical musical instruments are discussed more fully than usual, though always from the view-point of the physicist rather than that of the musician.
