Richard Fowler · Physics Today · 1966

A PARADOX CONFRONTS contemporary physicists: although scope, importance and utility of fluid dynamics in physics have grown spectacularly, teaching of the subject in physics departments has been receiving less and less attention. Not only are advanced courses becoming rare, but fluids are often eliminated from introductory physics for lack of time. Even when they are included, outdated aspects are usually presented, and modern contributions are ignored.
