Advanced soil physics

by Don Kirkham

Excerpts from the "This book can be used as a text for graduate level courses or as a self-study guide for interested scientists. This book shows the reader step-by-step how to apply his knowledge of mathematics to soil physics problems. When a certain mathematical manipulation disrupts the chain of thought, it is given in an appendix at the end of the book. Problems at the end of each chapter aid the reader in learning important concepts." "This text is a mathematical treatise on soil physics. Pertinent scientific papers are discussed, equation by equation, to show the reader how to apply his classroom mathematics to soil physics. . . The reader will need to know calculus, including differential equations. Some readers may wish to omit the detailed mathematical derivations and will find the physical discussions and examples of the derived formulas useful."
