Abstract
This paper describes numerical techniques which may be used to analyse (acoustic) wave motion in non-homogeneous media. The methods specifically considered are based on (1) one dimensional direct and inverse scattering theory (2) the parabolic approximation (3) the geometrical approximation (4) direct Fourier synthesis of the wave field.
