Description

Waves and Rays in Elastic Continua, Hardcover by Slawinski, Michael A., ISBN 9814641758, ISBN-13 9789814641753, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Emphasizing the interdependence of mathematical formulation and physical meaning in the description of seismic phenomena, Slawinski uses aspects of continuum mechanics, wave theory, and ray theory to explain phenomena resulting from the propagation of seismic waves. He writes for graduate and senior undergraduate students and for scientists interested in quantitative seismology, and assumes knowledge of linear algebra, differential and integral calculus, vector calculus, tensor analysis, and ordinary and partial differential equations. He has considerably revised the third edition in light of his experience teaching with the second edition. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
