Abstract
Before considering piezoelectric (or even elastic) vibrations—which are vectorial—it is enlightening to consider the mathematics of scalar vibration theory in some detail because the basic ideas of the two theories are the same and vectorial vibration theory is sufficiently complex and cumbersome to obscure the basic ideas if one is not already aware of them. On the other hand, scalar vibration theory is sufficiently simple and straightforward so as not to obscure the basic ideas. Of course, in either case we are considering linear vibration theory only.
