Abstract
THIS volume of the “Handbuch” is in three parts. The first part, by H. Martin, deals with the theory of oscillations, and includes mechanical, acoustical and electrical methods of production, conditions for stability, oscillations of coupled circuits, overtones and undertones. The second part, by Harry Schmidt, is a full survey of unidimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional problems of wave-motion. In the third part, E. Grossmann discusses the subject of supersonics; methods of production and reception of supersonic waves, their propagation, absorption and their mechanical, chemical and physiological effects are detailed in turn. The references are as usual, extensive.
