Bøger af Calvin H. Wilcox

This volume contains papers from three sets of tutorial covering mathematics "Topics in Harmonic Analysis with Applications to Radar and Sonar", physical aspects of scattering "Sonar and Radar Echo Structure", and engineering modelling and processing of the phenomena under consideration "Theory of Remote Surveillance Algorithms".

This book focuses on the topics which provide the foundation for practicing engineering mathematics: ordinary differential equations, vector calculus, linear algebra and partial differential equations.

Stratified fluids whose densities, sound speeds and other parameters are functions of a single depth coordinate occur widely in nature. The purpose of this monograph is to develop from first principles a theory of sound propagation in stratified fluids whose densities and sound speeds are essentially arbitrary functions of the depth.

The scattering of acoustic and electromagnetic waves by periodic sur faces plays a role in many areas of applied physics and engineering. Trains of surface waves on the oceans are natural diffraction gratings which influence the scattering of electromagnetic waves and underwater sound.
