This note is intended as a brief introduction to the theory and practice of perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundaries for wave equations, originally developed for MIT courses 18.369 and 18.336. It focuses on the complex stretched-coordinate viewpoint, and also discusses the limitations of PML.
