A. Sommerfeld's "Mathematische Theorie der Diffraction" marks a
milestone in optical theory, full of insights that are still
relevant today. In a stunning tour de force, Sommerfeld derives the
first mathematically rigorous solution of an optical diffraction
problem. Indeed, his diffraction analysis is a surprisingly rich
and complex mix of pure and applied mathematics, and his
often-cited diffraction solution is presented only as an
application of a much more general set of mathematical results.
This complete translation, reflecting substantial scholarship, is
the first publication in English of Sommerfeld's original work. The
extensive notes by the translators are rich in historical
background and provide many technical details for the reader.
