Description for Rays, Waves, and Scattering: Topics in Classical Mathematical Physics
Hardback. Series: Princeton Series in Applied Mathematics. Num Pages: 616 pages, 126 line illus. BIC Classification: PBW; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 115. Weight in Grams: 12.
This one-of-a-kind book presents many of the mathematical concepts, structures, and techniques used in the study of rays, waves, and scattering. Panoramic in scope, it includes discussions of how ocean waves are refracted around islands and underwater ridges, how seismic waves are refracted in the earth's interior, how atmospheric waves are scattered by mountains and ridges, how the scattering of light waves produces the blue sky, and meteorological phenomena such as rainbows and coronas. Rays, Waves, and Scattering is a valuable resource for practitioners, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates in applied mathematics, theoretical physics, and engineering. Bridging the gap ...

Reviews for Rays, Waves, and Scattering: Topics in Classical Mathematical Physics
A tour de force of the mathematical description of waves. . . . I sincerely wish I had encountered such a book early in my teaching career. The material presented in it would have provided a very useful enhancement to a number of courses I have taught to undergraduate physics majors over the years.
