Description

Book Synopsis
A graduate text that bridges the gap between the classic texts on potential theory and modern books on applied geophysics. It begins with an introduction to potential theory and then gives applications to gravity and magnetic anomalies, using examples from the modern geophysical literature. Contains exercises and FORTRAN subroutines.
