About The Book
This book provides an introduction to the phase-integral method in mathematics, also known as the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method, which is widely used in physics and mathematics. John Heading’s treatment strikes a balance between simplicity and rigor, making it accessible to advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
Rather than delving into extensive applications, the text focuses on the method itself, demonstrating its elegance and essential simplicity. It begins with a historical overview and goes on to cover significant topics such as the Stokes phenomenon, transition points, and applications to physical problems. The book serves as an essential primer for those looking to understand the core principles behind the WKB method and its broad applicability in science. An appendix and bibliography offer additional resources for further exploration.
