PREFACE
This work is based on a series of lectures given to
graduate students both at the University of Illinois, Chicago
Circle in the United States, and at Oxford University in
England. It is intended to provide a framework for such a
course given primarily to graduate students in applied mathe-
matics, as well as to be a useful supplementary text for
students of oceanography, meteorology and engineering. A
familiarity with basic fluid dynamics is assumed and some
knowledge of asymptot
