Abstract
One of the beautiful things about science is that many of its main equations and concepts appear in a multitude of different fields. Change the medium and the boundary conditions, make a change in variables, and you have gone from solid state physics to aeroacoustics or from nuclear physics to underwater acoustics, but within the same formal, theoretical framework. Rethink the Born–Oppenheimer approximation of molecular physics and you have the adiabatic approximation to coupled normal mode theory. This interplay is one of the hallmarks of Pierce's 1965 paper.
