Abstract
Multiple-scale analysis is a very general collection of perturbation techniques that embodies the ideas of both boundary-layer theory and WKB theory. Multiple-scale analysis is particularly useful for constructing uniformly valid approximations to solutions of perturbation problems.
And here—ah, now, this really is something a little recherché.
—Sherlock Holmes, The Musgrave Ritual Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
