This edited volume addresses the importance of mathematics in
wave-related research, and its tutorial style contributions provide
educational material for courses or seminars. It presents
highlights from research carried out at the Centre for Nonlinear
Studies in Tallinn, Estonia, the Centre of Mathematics for
Applications in Oslo, Norway, and by visitors from the EU project
CENS-CMA. The example applications discussed include wave
propagation in inhomogeneous solids, liquid crystals in mesoscopic
physics, and long ship waves in shallow water bodies. Other
contributions focus on specific mathematical approaches, namely the
pseudospectral method, the treatment of Maxwell equations, and
scalar conservation laws.
