Abstract
This article traces the historical development of the dynamical theory of electron diffraction as it relates to surface studies. A personal account will be given of the evolution of ideas which led to the first successful comparison between calculated low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) spectra and measured spectra. The broad impact of dynamical methods developed in the 1970's for LEED on other areas of surface studies also will be discussed. Personal accounts will be given on two specific areas. In addition, new ideas on how the inversion of diffraction spectra to produce real space information will be covered.
