Studying What other books cover waves and vibrations?

[quasar987]

I've run a search through amazon and I found that basically there are only 2 books about waves and vibrations:

1. 'Vibration and waves in physics' by Main, which looks good judging from the table of content

2. 'Vibrations and Waves' by French, which is the book I used for my W&V class but it doesn't treat the subject of wave packets and it introduces Fourier analysis only superficially.

Has anyone read 1. ?

What are the other books on waves and vibrations?

There are a lot more out there, but here's good basic one for free. You can download Benjamin Crowell's book on the topic here:

There is another one by John Pain. There is not much you need to know except sound (or mechanical waves) and electromagnetic waves.

PS: And of course partial differential equations.
