This text is welldesigned with respect to the exposition from the preliminaryto the more advanced and the applications interwoven throughout. It providesthe essential foundations for the theory as well as the basic facts relating toalmost periodicity. In six structured and selfcontained chapters the authorunifies the treatment of various classes of almost periodic functions whileuniquely addressing oscillations and waves in the almost periodic case. This isthe first text to present the latest results in almost periodic oscillationsand waves. The presentation level and inclusion of several clearly presentedproofs make this work ideal for graduate students in engineering and science.The concept of almost periodicity is widely applicable to continuum mechanicselectromagnetic theory plasma physics dynamical systems and astronomy whichmakes the book a useful tool for mathematicians and physicists.
