Abstract
A simple numerical method for calculating paths of creeping rays aroun d an arbitrary convex object is presented. The advantage of this metho d is that the path of creeping ray is iteratively determined from init ial values of incident point and incident direction of the creeping ra y without solving differential equation of geodesic path. As the numer ical examples, the path of creeping ray on the prolate spheroid and th e resonance path of natural modes are shown.
