This book explores recent developments in QIA and describes the
application of the theory to different branches of wave physics,
from plasma physics, quantum physics, and ionospheric radio wave
propagation to acoustics, optics, and astrophysics. This is an
up-to-the-minute exposition of the latest developments in an
important new area, written by authors of outstanding reputation. A
rich source of both theoretical methods and practical applications,
it covers a wide range of problems of general physical
significance. Until recently, there was no effective method for
describing waves in weakly anisotropic inhomogeneous media. The
method of quasi-isotropic approximation (QIA) of geometrical optics
was developed to overcome this problem. The QIA approach bridges
the gap between geometrical optics of isotropic media (Rytov
method) and that of anisotropic media (Courant-Lax approach), thus
providing a complete picture of the geometrical optics of
inhomogeneous media.
