Before I tell you about the mathematics of fluid mechanics, let me just take a step back here (I promise I won't be too boring). I am sure you must have the definition of mechanics at the tip of your toungue. "A branch of physics involving the stufy of forces acting a body" blah blah.. read more
Fluid mechanics requires good knowledge in following mathematics topics. Differential (partial differential equation) and integral equations; Vector, tensor and vector calculus; Algebra and trignometry. Book for reference: Vectors, Tensors and Basic equation of Fluid Mechanics by Rutherford Aris. read more
Depending what you want to learn in fluid mechanics. A simple course of mechanics should be enough, but if you want to go deeper in fluid mechanics a course of calculus (especially differential equations) is a must. read more
This course is an entry-level graduate course on the mathematical foundations of fluid mechanics, a central theme in modern applied mathematics. The aim is to help students acquire an understanding of some of the basic concepts of fluid dynamics, and give them a good working knowledge of mathematical modeling. read more
