14 lip 2000 · Written by leading scientists who have made important contributions to wave scattering over three decades, this new work explains the principles, methods, and applications of this rapidly expanding, interdisciplinary field.
This article summarizes equations in the theory of waves. Definitions. General fundamental quantities. A wave can be longitudinal where the oscillations are parallel (or antiparallel) to the propagation direction, or transverse where the oscillations are perpendicular to the propagation direction.

This chapter reviews planar optical waveguides, which are the key devices to construct integrated optical circuits and semiconductor lasers. Generally, rectangular waveguides consist of a square or rectangular core which is surrounded by a cladding with lower refractive index than that of the core.
In Chapter 8, we present Maxwell’s theory from the point of view of Lorentz covariance in accordance with the principle of spe- cial relativity. The problem section at the end of each section provides useful exercise and applications.
This book is an honest reflection of his teaching philosophy and as such deserves the attention of those of us engaged in graduate electromagnetic instruction. Furthermore, the book will make a useful addition to the library of the practicing electromagnetic researcher.
Electromagnetic wave scattering is an active, interdisciplinary area of research with myriad practical applications in fields ranging from atomic physics to medical imaging to geoscience and remote sensing. In particular, the subject of wave scattering by random discrete scatterers and rough sur-
