Summary
A billiard is a dynamical system in which a point particle alternates between free motion and specular reflections from the boundary of a domain. Exterior Billiards presents billiards in the complement of domains and their applications in aerodynamics and geometrical optics.
This book distinguishes itself from existing literature by presenting billiard dynamics outside bounded domains, including scattering, resistance, invisibility and retro-reflection. It begins with an ov…

Critics Review
From the reviews:
“The book under review is a very nice presentation of several problems related to the aerodynamics of bodies in highly rarefied media. … The book is very pleasant to read; the various mathematical models are clearly presented, and even a nonspecialist in the field can follow the presentation of the problems. Several pictures that are included greatly help the reader … .” (Giuseppe Buttazzo, SIAM Review, Vol. 56 (1), March, 2014)
