inscribed by influential 20th-century Mathematician and aerodynamics engineer Shih I Pai, author of this work. Inscribed to notable mathematician and Pai colleague, H. M. Martin and from his library. Green cloth with blocked gilt to spine. Inscriptions read, 'To Professor M.H. Martin, with Pais compliments' but without signature after inscription. Clean interior. Jacket with mild edge wear and light fading to spine. Jacket Presents handsomely in archival mylar. A very nice association copy of this uncommon title."Dr. Pai helped advance the field of aerodynamics from its infancy to its current level of sophistication. His discoveries 40 years ago about the effects of structure on turbulent flow laid the foundation for him and fellow engineers to move from low-speed aerodynamics through high subsonic and on to supersonic and hypersonic speeds.As velocities increased dramatically -- be it in aircraft, spacecraft or rockets -- shifting complexities arose in the interaction of electrical, chemical and electromagnetic forces involved. Helping to define them, Dr. Pai published 14 textbooks and some 130 scientific papers about fluid and plasma dynamics.He was a founder of the Institute for Physical Science and Technology, at the university's main campus in College Park, Md." - NY TIMES.
