These proceedings include articles of the Sixth International Conference on Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Wave Propagation (WAVES 2003), held in Jyviiskylii, Finland, from June 30 to July 4, 2003. As in the previous five conferences in this series, its program covered a broad range of topics related to the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of wave phenomena. Topics of specific interest included various areas of acoustics, electromagnetics, elasticity, and related optimization and inverse problems. In addition to the nine invited presentations, we selected for this confer ence 152 high-level papers from over 20 countries, especially from Europe. Most of them are contained in this book. They provide an extensive overview on the recent developments in the theoretical and applied wave propagation. The conference was organized by the University of Jyviiskylii and the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA) in cooperation with Jyviiskylii Congresses. The editors would like to thank the organizing institutions and the in ternational scientific committee for their efforts in the preparation of this conference. We are also grateful to all the authors of the papers for their contributions to these proceedings. Special acknowledgment is due to Ms. Dominique Potherat, to Ms. Helene Chanut and to Ms. Marja-Leena Ranta lainen for their valuable assistance in the preparation of this proceedings volume.

How do you become a great leader? The answer's simple: Just Ask. The world is filled with people who have all the right answers. What it needs are more people who have all the right questions. Leadership guru Gary Cohen explains how to empower yourself and your people by presenting open-ended questions designed to engage and inspire. Just Ask Leadership provides the insight and skills you need to strategically "question" your organization to greatness. "Gary's book can raise everyone's awareness of the social and intellectual power of asking rather than telling." --Tom Pritzker, CEO, Hyatt Corporation "A thoroughly engaging, well-researched book that has changed the way I run my business." --Kayle Neeley, CEO, EZ Payroll & Staffing, and former Vice President, Norwegian Cruise Line "Gary's concept of Just Ask Leadership is new and illuminating. It is what we do as leaders." --Matt Wisk, President, My Points, Inc. "For innovative thinking and getting a new slant on an old problem, Gary Cohen is incomparable." --Marcy Syms, CEO, Syms Corporation "Gary's approach applies to schools as well as businesses. Administrators can empower teachers and teachers can empower students simply by asking thoughtful, open-ended questions." --Arne Duncan, U.S. Secretary of Education

"To my knowledge [this] is the first book to address specifically the use of high-order discretizations in the time domain to solve wave equations. [...] I recommend the book for its clear and cogent coverage of the material selected by its author." --Physics Today, March 2003
