Theoretical & Computational Seismology

This is a solution companion to the book “Theoretical and Computational Seismology” by Jeroen Tromp, Blair Professor of Geology and Professor of Applied & Computational Mathematics.

Theoretical and Computational Seismology is available for purchase at Princeton University Press.

Solutions to problems in Chapters 1-5 were prepared by Jeroen Tromp and are static PDFs available for download.

Solutions to Chapters 6 and 7 were prepared by Will Eaton. Each solution is contained within an individual Jupyter notebook and rendered on this Jupyter Book. A static PDF version of all Chapter 6 and 7 solutions can also be downloaded here.
