Modelling the propagation and scattering of acoustic and electromagnetic waves has proved a major challenge to mathematicians and physicists for many centuries, and its practical importance can be observed in many applications prevalent throughout our modern world. These include the mitigation of aircraft, rail and traffic noise in urban areas, sonar detection, wireless and fibre optic communication, baggage screening, medical diagnostics and the workings of the cochlea. This course aims to provide an introduction to linear and nonlinear wave theory and the approximate methods used to tackle wave reflection, transmission and scattering in inhomogeneous media.
