Reviews

"…presents a thorough overview of the main aspects of the subject…highly recommended…important acquisition for defense libraries and other science and technology libraries…"
E-Streams, Volume 8, no. 8, 2005
"Never have the principles of scattering theory been formulated and applied to such a breadth of problems from basic physics to condenced matter, bio, chemical and medical physics. Computational strategies emphasize both deterministic stochastic methods adding to the value of the book".

-- Erkki Brandas

"This is an excellent book."

-- Professor Ivan Mancev
