Wavefronts and Rays : As Characteristics and Asymptotics, Hardcover by Bóna, Andrej; Slawinski, Michael A., ISBN 9814644781, ISBN-13 9789814644785, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Bóna and Slawinski investigate the mathematics used to describe wavefronts and rays, which are intrinsic entities contained in hyperbolic differential equations and which they exemplify in the context of elasticity and electromagnetism. They write for graduate students, researchers, and teachers of the physical sciences and engineering, and assume readers to be familiar with linear algebra, differential and integral calculus, vector calculus, and tensor analysis. The topics are characteristic equations of first-order and second-order linear partial differential equations, characteristic equations of first-order nonlinear partial differential equations, the propagation of discontinuities for linear partial differential equations, and caustics. The chapter-end exercises include solutions that are more detailed than described in the body of the text. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
