This text provides an elementary introduction to the mathematical description of wave motion. The only mathematics assumed is that which would be found in an A-level calculus course. The book begins with a simple case of the vibration of a single particle and then considers two-particle systems and normal modes. Vibration on strings and springs are then covered, and the book finishes with a description of general wave properties such as the doppler effect and interference.
