The ray theory belongs to the methods most frequently used in seismology and seismic exploration for forward and inverse modeling of high-frequency seismic body waves. In smoothly varying media with smooth interfaces, it can provide useful approximate solutions of the elastodynamic equation of satisfactory accuracy. Starting from an intuitive description of the propagation of seismic waves along special trajectories - rays, it has developed into a highly sophisticated method, described briefly in this review paper.
