This collection of formulas has been written by applied scientists and industrial engineers for design professionals and students who work in engineering acoustics. In addition to formulas, useful principles and computational procedures are given.

"This book is an illustrated compilation of formulas for solving dynamics, acoustics, and vibration problems in engineering. Over 1000 formulas for solution of practical problems are presented in 60 tables for quick reference..." [From the publisher]

This classic reference on musical acoustics and performance practice begins with a brief introduction to the fundamentals of acoustics and the generation of musical sounds. It then discusses the particulars of the sounds made by all the standard instruments in a modern orchestra as well as the human voice, the way in which the sounds made by these instruments are dispersed and how the room into which they are projected affects the sounds.
