The seismic ray technique performs an immense function in seismology, seismic exploration, and within the interpretation of seismic measurements. Seismic Ray conception offers the main finished remedy of the tactic on hand. Many new techniques that reach the chances and raise the method's potency are incorporated. The ebook has an academic personality: derivations begin with a comparatively easy challenge, within which the most principles are more uncomplicated to provide an explanation for, after which enhance to extra complicated difficulties. lots of the derived equations are expressed in algorithmic shape and will be used at once for desktop programming. This e-book will turn out to be a useful complicated textual content and reference in all educational associations within which seismology is taught or researched.
