The Science of Sound, 3rd Edition. Este artículo no está disponible.The Science of Sound, 3rd Edition

The Science of Sound is widely recognised as the leading textbook in the field.

It provides an excellent introduction to acoustics for students without college physics or a strong background in mathematics. In the 3rd Edition, Richard Moore and Paul Wheeler join Tom Rossing in updating The Science of Sound to include a wide range of important technological developments in the field of acoustics. Exercises and review questions have been added to the end of each chapter to help students study the material.

Thomas D. Rossing completed his B.A. at Luther College in 1950, his M.S. and Ph.D. at Iowa State University in 1954. His dissertation was in the field of molecular physics. After graduating, he went into industrial research, and from there, he went to teaching. Currently, he is a professor at Northern Illinois University.

Professor Rossing has published more than 200 papers and ten books. He is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has held about a dozen research positions other than at his home institution―in national laboratories, in research universities, and in several other countries. The Acoustical Society of America awarded him the Silver Medal in Musical Acoustics.
