A self-contained discussion of quasilinear hyperbolic partial differential equations and systems, this book includes carefully chosen physical examples in gasdynamics and shallow water theory. It introduces the necessary mathematicalconcepts in the first three chapters, which introduce wave propagation problems in general and the issues to be developed throughout the book. The book covers the applications of the characteristic approach, singular surface theory, asymptotic methods, self-similarity and group theoretic methods, and the theory of generalized functions to several concrete physical examples from radiation gasdynamics, magnetogasdynamics, and nonequilibrium ows.
