Hi,
I'm taking a Fluid Mechanics course. The lecturer is very closely (letter to letter) following the book by Kundu and Cohen (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0123737354/).
I think K&C has a bunch of isolated derivations with no examples or solved problems. The 'examples' they do have are just a part of the text and when I get to the exercises I'm totally flabbergasted..
I was wondering if there were any other better books meant for physicists? Engineering books apparently don't even deal with tensors but are just as thick..
TIA!
