Preface
In wntmg this book, I have endeavored to summarize the' theory of

applications, particularly to light scattering. The treatment is extensive,
and yet it is hardly exhaustive, for the field is vast. The selection of topics,
described in the introductory chapter, is biased very much in favor ofmy own
