Description

Aerodynamics for Engineering Students, Eight Edition, is one of the world's leading course texts on aerodynamics. It provides concise explanations of basic concepts, combined with an excellent introduction to aerodynamic theory. This updated edition has been revised with improved pedagogy and reorganized content to facilitate student learning and includes new examples in many chapters, expanded use of the "aerodynamics around us" boxes to help put the content into proper context for students, and more coverage and use of computational methods like MATLAB.
