This is the published record of a symposium on electromagnetic waves which was conducted by the Mathematics Research Center, U. S. Army, on April 10-12, 1961, at the University of Wisconsin. "Its objective was . . . namely, the analysis of the fundamental facts of the wave's (sic) behavior, their propagation, their diffraction, their scattering, etc." Some of the papers included in this book are: "Fields Excited in a Receiving-type Antenna" by F. J. Tischer; "Diffractton by Polygonal Cylinders" by Joseph Keller; "Dipoles in a Dissipative Media" by Ronold W. P.

the addition of two special chapters writtell by the editor, this volume covers phases of the problem of hydrogen embrittlement. The seven symposium papers deal with transport of hydrogen, behavior of hydrogen in iron and steel, measurement of hydrogen embrittlement, the effectiveness of undercoats, and the use and control of hydrogen in different types of steel.
