Mathematics of Random Media

An overview of recent research in the mathematics of random media, considering the field's scientific and technological, as well as mathematical, roots. The 33 papers cover systems of interacting particles, the application of probability theory and partial differential equations to random perturbations of dynamical systems, predicting macroscopic properties from microstructure with effective medium theory, and the phenomenon of localization in the propagation of waves through random media.
