Focusing on practical and numerical aspects of scattering, this book covers single and multiple scattering, addressing the implications of inhomogeneous boundaries and scatterers. It offers a detailed explanation of the T-matrix approach and discusses iterative solution methods. Readers will find criteria for assessing numerical accuracy crucial for real-world applications. Each chapter includes Python code for experimentation, alongside various scattering results for benchmarking, making it an essential resource for those developing their own scattering codes.

Focusing on the Green's function formalism, this book offers a straightforward introduction suitable for graduate students and researchers. It highlights the formalism's practical applications to various classical physics problems, often approached through different methods. By bridging the concepts between classical and quantum physics, it aims to enhance understanding and familiarity with this powerful mathematical tool.

Scatteringofelectromagneticwavesonthree-dimensional, dielectricstructures is a basic interaction process in physics, which is also of great practical - portance. Most of our visual impressions are caused not by direct but by scattered light, as everybody can experience of looking directly at the sun. Several modern measurement technologies in technical and medical diagn- tics are also based on this interaction process. Atmospheric remote sensing with lidar and radar as well as nephelometer instruments for measuring s- pended particulates in a liquid or gas colloid are only a few examples where scattered electromagnetic waves provide us with information concerning the structure and consistence of the objects under consideration. Using the inf- mation of the elastically scattered electromagnetic wave is a common ground of most of those measuring methods. The phrase “elastically scattered” - presses the restriction that we consider such interaction processes only where the scattered wave possesses the same wavelength as the primary incident wave. This book addresses this special scattering problem.
