Reviews from the Second Edition

David Harris, University of Manchester “This textbook serves as a useful reference for both final-year undergraduates and beginning graduate students interested in the application of the mathematical theories of waves to seismic studies. Seismic data analysis has been an important tool in the study of the earth’s interior and in the exploration for mineral resources. Techniques for such analysis are often based on semi-empirical models and signal processing algorithms. This book provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for the understanding of the propagation of seismic wave energy based on wave and ray theories. It fills in a gap between the more practical, empirical approaches and the mathematical theories of waves in elastic media. Overall, it is an excellent book.” Lim Hock, National University of Singapore “The treatment is modern, but the mathematics is presented in a classical style, readable by geophysicists. Slawinski’s inclusion of issues related to anisotropy is a must for any modern book on the subject. The text provides a modern mathematical physics context for seismic wave and ray theory, acting as a bridge between the disciplines of mathematical physics and geophysics that will benefit anyone interested in these topics.” John Stockwell, Colorado School of Mines

Third Edition

WAVES AND RAYS IN ELASTIC CONTINUA

“This book touches on several important classical areas of physics and applied mathematics and provides an excellent introduction both to them and to the theory of waves in a geophysical context and is strongly recommended. Particularly useful are the sets of exercises with complete solutions at the end of each chapter which illustrate important calculations, methods and proofs of theorems.”
