Courant and Friedrich's classical treatise was first published in 1948 and the basic research for it took place during World war II. However, many aspects make the book interesting as a text and a reference in the 1990s. It treats the dynamics of compressible fluids in mathematical form and attempts to present a systematic theory of nonlinear wave propagation, particularly in relation to gas dynamics.
