In reading this volume, you will find that the history of diffraction We worked with Kamill over a period of several years to compile theory was filled with many controversies and feuds as new theories this volume. This volume was virtually ready for publication when came to displace or revise previous ones. Kamill Klem-Musatov’s Kamill passed away. He is greatly missed. new theory also met opposition; he paid a great personal price in Kamill’s role in Classical and Modern Diffraction Theory goes putting forth his theory for the seismic diffraction forward problem. far beyond that of co-editor.

For the first 12 academic years, Kamill’s scientific interests were devoted to a 2D canonical forward problem: wave diffraction in a sec- torial acoustic/elastic medium with one common sharp edge and several plane interfaces. He was one of the first scientists who obtained a rigorous solution of the difficult forward problem using the Sommer- feld-Malyuzhinets technique improved by him to semitransparent interfaces. He published a series of articles on this topic in Russian scientific journals. Among them, three results were the most valuable. The first of these is a justification of the edge-diffraction law: “amplitude of acoustic, elastic, electromagnetic and other edge Kamill D. Klem-Musatov, 1930–2015 waves inside the boundary layer (vicinity of shadow boundary) can be described by the universal special function W(w).” The second “All unknown and complex is hidden in the well-known and simple.” result is verification of this law by physical (laboratory) modeling. Using the above two results, Kamill and his pupil Evgeny Landa — Kamill D. Klem-Musatov introduced a theoretical criterion of detecting small-throw faults. Kamill summarized this period in his first monograph, Theory of On the morning of 18 June 2015, Professor Kamill D. Klem-Musatov, Edge Waves and its Application in Seismic (1980, in Russian).
