>>11913888hahaha i was once there. trash that book m8, it's poorly written (as are most books on that subject).
I have two good recommendations:
https://b-ok.cc/book/539203/0944a1https://scholar.harvard.edu/david-morin/wavesthe first is a solid book while the second is a set of draft notes which are really amazing. honestly I love anything written by morin (sad how there isn't much more advanced stuff he's written :/) When I took this class we learned from A.P.French. It was fine but not the best. Personally I feel like the waves courses are a little gimmicky. It would be a better treatment of the material if you simply learned it through PDE's and Harmonic analysis, then learned its applications to strings and spring apparatuses. As for resonance, you can learn that easily from any ODE text.
>>11913972>I'm going into third year of maths and physics degree so would Goldstein be appropriate after?You can certainly try it mate. Look through Morin's intro to classical mechanics, and if you can do the hard problems then you can certainly go goldstein.
