Reviews
From the reviews: "This is a very nice book for those interested in the theory of diffraction since it presents, for the first time in English, the strikingly original work of Sommerfeld--which marks a milestone in optical theory--enriched with historical background and technical details. The interest of this book is not only historical but also technical as it presents a surprisingly rich and complex mix of pure and applied mathematics."(MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS) "This book offers the first publication in English of Sommerfeld's original work, together with extensive notes by the translators, and it can be recommended to anyone interested in the theory of diffraction. ... The translator's notes (64 pages) are very illuminating for the reader by providing a lot of historical remarks, technical details, and a nice account of previous diffraction analyses of Kirchhoff and Poincaré."

Synopsis
Arnold Sommerfeld's Mathematische Theorie der Diffraction marks a milestone in optical theory, full of insights that are still relevant today. In a stunning tour de force, Sommerfeld derives the first mathematically rigorous solution of an optical diffraction problem. Indeed, his diffraction analysis is a surprisingly rich and complex mix of pure and applied mathematics, and his often-cited diffraction solution is presented only as an application of a much more general set of mathematical results. The body of Sommerfeld's work is devoted to the systematic development of a method for deriving solutions of the wave equation on Riemann surfaces, a fascinating but perhaps underappreciated topic in mathematical physics., A.

- t***i (1233)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem arrived today, exactly as described! I ordered this to replace my copy from the mid 1970's when I was a Civil Engineering major at The Citadel. This and several other of my textbooks served me well for almost 2 decades working for an engineering firm. Even though I retired in 2012, having the "Harris Dictionary" on hand is a valuable reference source. Thank you very much, I highly recommend alibris as your source for out of print books and other publications. I have been since the 1990's!
