Professor Hunsperger's Integrated Optics is one of the few texts that is comprehensive and thorough enough for use both as a classroom text (practice problems are included) and as a specialist's reference.
The book incorporates research papers and surveys written byparticipants ofan International Scientific Programme onApproximation Theory jointly supervised by Institute forConstructive Mathematics of University of South Florida atTampa, USA and the Euler International MathematicalInstituteat St.
The problem of designing a cost-efficient network thatsurvives the failure of one or more nodes or edges of thenetwork is critical to modern telecommunicationsengineering.
In many fields of application of mathematics, progress is crucially dependent on the good flow of information between (i) theoretical mathematicians looking for applications, (ii) mathematicians working in applications in need of theory, and (iii) scientists and engineers applying mathematical models and methods.
The classical phenomenon of light scattering is one of the most studied t- ics in light-matter interaction and, even today, involves some controversial issues.
