Adam, John A.| Call Number | 530.15 |
| Author | Adam, John A., author. |
| Title | Rays, waves, and scattering : topics in classical mathematical physics / John A. Adam. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white). |
| Series | Princeton series in applied mathematics |
| Notes | Previously issued in print: 2017. |
| Summary | This work 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. |
