Gerhard Kristensson is Professor Emeritus at Lund University, Sweden, where he held the Chair of Electromagnetic Theory for 25 years. He has served as a member of the Board for Editors of Wave Motion, the Editorial Board and the International Advisory Panel of Inverse Problems, and the Review Board of Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications and Progress in Electromagnetic Research. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, and during 2006-2014 he was the chairman of the Swedish National committee of Radio Science (SNRV) and official representative for Sweden in the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). Professor Kristensson has a general interest in electromagnetic scattering problems and wave propagation in inhomogeneous media.
'This fundamental (and in many respects encyclopedic) 755-page
monograph was published as part of the "Mario Boella Series on
Electromagnetism in Information and Communication" edited by P.L.E.
Uslenghi. The main purpose of the book is systematic exposition of
several important aspects of the electromagnetic scattering theory
along with the presentation of the requisite mathematical apparatus
and illustrative numerical results. What distinguishes this volume
from the vast majority of related books is the extensive treatment
of the time-domain scattering theory.'
