The Big Booker Fluids
The Big Booker Fluids
These will be a main resource for the whole course, and the lectures draw heavily from them. The notes were written by Prof. John Booker, and are great. They are extremely clear and cover the essence of the material, with valuable asides. Although they are very comprehensive and could easily have been converted into a textbook, they are class notes, so expect typos here and there. I am gradually converting them to editable latex files, so please do let me know when you find errors.
