Perfect for senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in geophysics, physics, mathematics, geology and engineering, this book is devoted exclusively to seismic wave theory. The result is an invaluable teaching tool, with its detailed derivations of formulas, clear explanations of topics, exercises along with selected answers, and an additional set of exercises with derived answers on the book's website. Some highlights of the text include: a review of vector calculus and Fourier transforms and an introduction to tensors, which prepare readers for the chapters to come; and a detailed discussion on computing reflection and transmission coefficients, a topic of wide interest in the field; a discussion in later chapters of plane waves in anisotropic and anelastic media, which serves as a useful introduction to these two areas of current research in geophysics. Students will learn to understand seismic wave theory through the book's clear and concise pedagogy.
Read more- The only textbook on seismic wave theory that is perfect for senior undergraduate students: other current textbooks are either at a more advanced level that would be daunting for senior undergraduates, or at a lower introductory level than appropriate for senior undergraduates
- Focuses on only one subject, avoiding the problem of trying to cover too much but in not enough detail, which makes this relatively short book appealing to students and instructors choosing a manageable book
- Enhances students' understanding by providing good pedagogy and offering detailed explanations of topics and many derivations of formulas
