Scattering Theory of Waves and Particles

Much progress has been made in scattering theory since the publication of the first edition of this book fifteen years ago, and it is time to update it. Needless to say, it was impossible to incorporate all areas of new development. Since among the newer books on scattering theory there are three excellent volumes that treat the subject from a much more abstract mathe­ matical point of view (Lax and Phillips on electromagnetic scattering, Amrein, Jauch and Sinha, and Reed and Simon on quant...
