Summary
Fundamentals of Seismic Wave Propagation introduces the propagation of high-frequency body-waves in elastodynamics. It is intended as a text for graduate courses in theoretical seismology, and as a reference for all academic and industrial seismologists using numerical modelling methods. Exercises and suggestions for further reading are included in each chapter
Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references (pages 587-598) and indexes
