SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Numerical simulation is an irreplaceable tool in earthquake ground motion research. Among all the numerical methods in seismology, the finite-difference (FD) technique is the most widely-used, providing the best balance of accuracy and computational efficiency. Now, for the first time, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to this method and its applications to earthquake motion"--
