Mathematical Models of Viscous Friction

"This book presents some results from the mathematical theory of viscous friction that describes the motion of a body immersed in an infinitely extended medium and subjected to the action of an external force. ... Each chapter ends with its own list of references relevant to the topics covered in the respective chapter. These are helpful features that increase the accessibility of the book. The intended audience would be graduate students and other researchers in applied mathematics or mathematical physics." (Lucy J. Campbell, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2015)
