The goal of this text is to present some of the basic ideas of fluid mechanics in a mathematically attractive manner, to present the physical background and motivation for some constructions that have been used in recent mathematical and numerical work on the Navier-Stokes equations and on hyperbolic systems, and to interest some of the students in this beautiful and difficult subject. The third edition has incorporated a number of updates and revisions, but the spirit and scope of the original book are unaltered.Chorin, Alexandre J. is the author of 'Mathematical Introduction to Fluid Mechanics', published 1993 under ISBN 9780387979182 and ISBN 0387979182.
