Abstract
From the outset it has been emphasised that this book is an introductory text intended for the use of those wishing to begin studying the scattering of waves by time-dependent perturbations. For this reason we offer in this chapter some additional remarks on the material that has been presented in previous chapters. The main intentions are, on the one hand, to give some indications of the work that either has been or is being done to cater for more general situations than those considered here and, on the other hand, to suggest further reading directions. Whilst it is recognised that it is impossible to give credit to all sources, nevertheless, those cited in the extended Bibliography provided here will, in turn, give additional references.
