Of the two possible didactic approaches to a physical subject, one proceeds from general definitions to their implications, leaving aside the problem of deciding which definitions are relevant to a particular, real situation. The other proceeds from specific situations and examples to definitions there relevant leaving the general principles of the subject to emerge only by and by. Fluid dynamics is too varied and subtle a subject for the first approach, but the second is too hard on the student, who has to persevere through an inordinate volume of work before the subject takes over-all shape. Like most other textbooks, this work therefore adopts largely the first approach.
