                                  Theoretical Aerodynamics is designed to serve as a user  friendly text for a full course on theoretical aerodynamics. The  material is covered in such a way that the theory of aerofoil, its  design features and performance aspects are introduced  systematically, beginning with the basics required, and then  gradually proceeding to higher level. The mathematics involved is  presented in such a manner that it can be followed comfortably by  even those who are not strong in mathematics. The examples are  designed to fix the theory studied in an effective manner.  Throughout the book, the physics behind the process is clearly  explained.  The book begins with the basics about aircraft geometry, and  forces acting on that. A chapter giving the essence of fluid  mechanics, which is vital for learning this subject, follows.   This chapter is unique in that a student new to fluid mechanics can  catch up quickly with the one who has learned the elementary level  and is ready to learn wing theory. The subsequent chapters cover  the theory and application of Joukowski transformation, the vortex  dynamics, and wing theory in a systematic manner.  The author  describes the fundamental theory of wing for both the beginners to  fluid dynamics and the engineers who want to understand it quickly.  The mechanism of the aerodynamic force generation by  two-dimensional and three-dimensional (finite span) wings is  explained based on the elements of the fluid  dynamics.        Contents  includes: Essence of Fluid Mechanics, Kinematics of Fluid Flow,  Source Sink Pair, Turbulence,  Conformal Transformation,   Joukowski Hypothesis, Vortex Theory, Stokes Theorem,   Helmholtzs Vortex Theorems, Thin Aerofoil Theory, Panel  Method, and Finite Aerofoil Theory.  Each chapter begins with an introduction and ends with a summary  and exercises.
