This work aims to provide a unified treatment of view acoustics and electromagnetism in order to underline their common and disparate features and the way in which cross-fertilization occurs. It is assumed that the reader has taken a first course in which the governing equations are derived. Although it is expected that enough electricity and magnetism will have been covered for Maxwell's equations to have been met or in fluid mechanics that the equation of sound waves will have been encountered, nevertheless the book is so designed that developments in either without acquaintance with the other can be followed. Topics discussed in the text include field representations, radiation from fixed and moving sources, guiding of waves by tubes, refraction and reflection, scattering by objects and problems in the time domain.
