Fourier Series
Georgi P. Tolstov, Gordon Frank Newell · Journal of Applied Mechanics · 1963
REVIEWS from the Portuguese published by Springer-Verlag, one would be inclined to expect a reasonably up-to-date account on the subject of thin shells of revolution, but the reader will be disappointed.Although the author expresses hope that the book "represents a contribution to the development of the theory of shells," it represents, in the reviewer's opinion, essentially the state of the art prior to 1930.The book abounds in worked-out examples that reveal the author's intelligent use of arithmetic, with relatively little motivation for mathematical techniques and lack of adequate discussion of physical aspects.
