Books by G. K. (University of Cambridge) Batchelor

G. I. Taylor's contribution to our understanding of the science of solids and liquids has been profound and long-lasting. How was he able to be innovative in so many different ways? This interesting and unusual mix of science and biography, first published in 1996, helps us to answer that question.

First published in 1967, Professor Batchelor's classic text on fluid dynamics is still one of the foremost texts in the subject. The careful presentation of the underlying theories of fluids is still timely and applicable. This re-issue should ensure that a new generation of graduate students see the elegance of Professor Batchelor's presentation.
