Books by J. A. Shercliff

This 1977 book was written for any reader not content with a purely mathematical approach to fields. In letting the mathematical concepts invent themselves out of the need to describe the physical world quantitatively, Professor Shercliff shows how the same mathematical ideas may be used in a wide range of apparently different contexts.

This book is a graduate-level introduction to the theory of electro-magnetic flow-measurement. Although the sophistication of the instrumentation has changed radically since Shercliff's book was first published, the theoretical principles expounded in the book are still relevant and sound. Students of mechanical engineering and research workers will find this reissue useful.
