Computational Mechanics of the Classical Guitar

From the reviews:"Dr. Bader’s book would be of keen interest to … those who are interested in complex boundary element methods in acoustics and computational modelling. It may also be ideal for acousticians involved in uncovering the secrets of the mystical geometries of the classical guitar … . The book includes 65 figures and illustrations and addresses many areas of practical interest related to the guitar … . my impression is that the book is a broad and accessible text on the dynamics of the guitar." (Salem Hertil, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 11 (3), 2006)“The book in question is part of this type of research work and gives an accurate, detailed analysis of the structural components of a classical guitar, proposing mathematical models featuring various levels of complexity. … even luthiers, with the aid of skilled input, might find this book interesting with a view to obtaining useful suggestions that could help them improve prototype development.” (Bruno Pizzigoni, Meccanica, Vol. 45, August, 2010)
