Wave Propagation and Scattering - 12 lectures

This part of course deals with propagation and scattering of acoustic waves by inhomogeneous, possibly random, media and by rough surfaces. The direct problem of calculating the scattered field, given an incident field and a scatterer (which could be a surface or an extended medium) will be considered first. The last two chapters are concerned with the inverse problem of calculating properties of the scatterer from measurements of the scattered field. The linear approximation to the wave equation for acoustic waves will be used throughout.
