Rays, Waves, and Scattering Topics in Classical Mathematical Physics

Zusatztext "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." ---James A. Lock! American Journal of Physics Informationen zum Autor John A. Adam Klappentext "This is a significant contribution to the literature on wave theory, one that blends the mathematics and physics in just the right way. All derivations are given in full so that the work is genuinely a students' book, and Adam has chosen only the most interesting parts of the subject, especially those masterpieces of elegance that draw people to advanced physics in the first place." --C. J. Chapman, Keele University Zusammenfassung 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 scatter
