Most physical phenomena exhibit spatiotemporal features interpreted as wave dynamics. Various diagnostic technologies use some waves such as light, sound, and microwaves. A proper understanding of wave dynamics is essential to interpret these physical phenomena and apply the technology efficiently. However, the physics underlying the wave-like behavior of real-world systems is not necessarily straightforward. Often the mathematical description of these physics is hard to understand. Consequently, the interpretation of diagnostic signals is not simple, which sometimes leads to an incorrect diagnosis. This book aims to solve these problems by describing the related topics on a sound physical basis and explaining them intuitively for easy digestion. Presents real-world examples of oscillatory and wave systems to help the reader understand wave dynamics while explaining numerical methods. Explains the physics and mathematics underlying wave dynamics in intuitive fashions.

Om författaren
Sanichiro Yoshida received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Keio University, Japan, in 1980 and 1986, respectively. From 1981 – to 1982, he worked for Dr. Author V. Phelps at the University of Colorado at Boulder as a student researcher, where he learned the basics of conducting scientific research. He has conducted experimental and theoretical research on various topics, such as developments and applications of high-power lasers, precise measurement with optical interferometry, optical and acoustic characterization of material strength, and development of a comprehensive theory on deformation and fracture of solids. Currently, he works at Southeastern Louisiana University as a Professor of Physics.
