First sentence: Multiple scattering theory was initiated in 1892 with the publication by Lord Rayleigh [1] of a paper on the propagation of heat or electricity through inhomogeneous media.
Description: "This book describes multiple scattering theory, a general technique for solving linear partial differential equations by dividing space into regions to which the equations are independently applied and then assembling a global solution from the partial ones.

It is intended for researchers and graduate students involved in calculations of the electronic structure of materials, but it will also be of interest to workers in quantum chemistry, electron microscopy, acoustics, optics, and other fields."--BOOK JACKET.
