This text presents the topic of fluid mechanics rigorously using mathematical and physical intuition. Those who do not have a solid background in introductory and vector calculus and differential equations will have a tough time understanding the text. Moreover, though possible to completely understand everything with mathematics, readers must comprehend the physical processes taking place. It is quite easy to get lost in the proofs and developments in the book if the subject is treated with a passing glance. In short, though this is a very good book, reading and understanding will take a bit of effort. However, the intellectual gambits the author uses are well worth it.
