Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Wave Propagation WAVES 2003: Proceedings of The Sixth International Conference on Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Wave Propagation Held at Jyvaskyla, Finland, 30 June - 4 July 2003

This volume includes articles on the mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of various wave phenomena. For many years Waves 2003 and its five prior conferences have been an important forum for discussions on wave propagation. The topic is equally important for fundamental sciences, engineering, mathematics and, in particular, for industrial applications. Areas of specific interest are acoustics, electromagnetics, elasticity and related inverse and optimization problems. This book gives an extensive overview of recent developments in a very active field of scientific computing.
