An Introduction to Microlocal Analysisby Richard B. Melrose, Gunther Uhlmann - MIT
The origin of scattering theory is the study of quantum mechanical systems. The scattering theory for perturbations of the flat Laplacian is discussed with the approach via the solution of the Cauchy problem for the corresponding perturbed equation.
