Inverse scattering problems are a vital subject for both theoretical and experimental studies and remain an active field of research in applied mathematics. This book provides a detailed presentation of typical setup of inverse scattering problems for time-harmonic acoustic, electromagnetic and elastic waves. Moreover, it provides systematical and in-depth discussion on an important class of geometrical inverse scattering problems, where the inverse problem aims at recovering the shape and location of a scatterer independent of its medium properties. Readers of this book will be exposed to a unified framework for analyzing a variety of geometrical inverse scattering problems from a spectral geometric perspective. 

This book contains both overviews of classical results and update-to-date information on latest developments from both a practical and theoretical point of view. It can be used as an advanced graduate textbook in universities or as a referencesource for researchers in acquiring the state-of-the-art results in inverse scattering theory and their potential applications.
