Fundamentals of Seismic Wave Propagation presents a comprehensive introduction to the propagation of high-frequency, body-waves in elastodynamics. The book is a text for graduate courses in theoretical seismology, and a reference for all academic and industrial seismologists using numerical modelling methods.

This volume develops the theory of seismic wave propagation in acoustic, elastic and anisotropic media to allow seismic waves to be modelled in complex, realistic three-dimensional Earth models.
