In this section, we try to imitate a miniature SEP research paper. At
SEP such a research paper does not only include an article with
figures, equations, and references, but a set of accompanying
programs, input data, and makefiles. In its electronic form such a
research document enables the reader to reproduce the results the
document presents .
The research document that we imbedded for documentation purposes
implements Normal Moveout,
a standard geophysical processing step.
The equation that governs the Normal Moveout is a mapping from
time t to zero offset time
where h is the offset and V the subsurface velocity.
We copied the underlying program and the following result
from Jon Claerbout .
