Abstract

The historical progress, of the science of acoustics is surveyed from the earliest recorded phenomena and theories to the present status of the subject. Considerable attention is paid to the development of both mathematical and experimental tools for studying the production, propagation, and reception of sound, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries. The impact of Rayleigh's work on modern acoustics is estimated. Contemporary developments are treated only briefly. The endeavor has been made to refer in almost all cases to original sources.
