Opis

A rigorous self-contained exposition of the mathematical theory for wave propagation and general ray theory in layered viscoelastic media.

Recenzje

'Bound to become one of the most sought-after references on the subject. Roger Borcherdt has worked on the subject since his PhD days, and his mastery of the subject is something to behold.' Sven Treitel, The Leading Edge, Society of Exploration Geophysicists
