Textbook:
Fluid Mechanics, Fourth Edition, by Frank M. White. WCB McGraw Hill 1999.
(NOTE: Even though this is an undergraduate text, we will cover our topics in full depth, review thoroughly necessary fluid mechanics concepts, and use references (see below) as needed.

References:
Viscous Fluid Flow, 2nd Edition, by Frank M. White. McGraw Hill 1991.
