Abstract
DR. P. M. MORSE who has made a number of contributions to theoretical atomic physics, shows in the present book that the new mathematical techniques which have been developed for the working out of quantum mechanics can be used to analyse such problems as the behaviour of sound in rooms. A course given by him at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology led to the writing of the book. According to the preface to the first edition, which appeared in 1936, it is intended primarily as a text-book for students of physics and of communications engineering.
