Peter Cary Waterman (June 14, 1928 — June 3, 2012) was an American applied mathematician and physicist, known for his fundamental contributions to theory and computation of wave scattering in electromagnetics, optics and acoustics. He has introduced the extended boundary condition and T-matrix methods, widely used in the analysis of scattering in complex structures.
