Introduction to Theoretical and Mathematical Fluid Dynamics is a graduate-level textbook that presents fluid behavior through a rigorous mathematical perspective. The volume examines theoretical principles alongside disciplinary advances spanning the fifteen years prior to its 2022 publication.

The textbook addresses fundamental fluid models, governing flow equations, surface tension effects, and the dynamics of incompressible and compressible fluid flows. It also investigates viscous fluid dynamics, analyzing phenomena such as shear layers, jet flows, and wake flows.

Designed for graduate students in mathematics, engineering, or physics, the work also serves practicing applied mathematicians, engineers, and physicists. Real-world examples, practical applications, and exercises are integrated throughout the text to illustrate theoretical concepts.
