The inclusion of two chapters on magnetohydrodynamics provides the opportunity to illustrate the basic theory of electromagnetism with a wide variety of physical applications of current interest. Davidson places great emphasis on the pedagogical development of ideas throughout the text, and includes many detailed illustrations and well-chosen exercises to complement the material and encourage student development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Davidson, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of fluid mechanics, University of Cambridge\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePeter Davidson is currently Professor of Fluid Mechanics at the University of Cambridge.
