Introduction to Theoretical Seismology Lecture notes for students of geophysics

The material is based on several textbooks, monographs and journal articles. Though the material is clearly far from well elaborated it can be useful for students who want to learn basics of theory of seismology. Topics covered includes: Basic Relations Of Continuum Mechanics, Seismic Source, Methods Of Solution Of The Equation Of Motion, Elastic Waves In Unbounded Homogeneous Isotropic Medium, Reflection And Transmission Of Plane Waves At A Plane Interface, Surface Waves, Seismic Response Of A System Of Horizontal Layers Over a Halfspace To A Vertically Incident Plane SH Wave, The Ray Method.
