From the reviews: "Book attempts to introduce the subject of inverse problems in a way that emphasizes practical methods for the solution of applied problems while also providing a general understanding of the subject. ... of interest to instructors who want to teach an introductory course in inverse problems with limited mathematics prerequisites to an audience of scientists and engineers at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level. ... book would also be accessible to graduate students in engineering and science for self study." (Brian Borchers, MAA Reviews, October, 2013) "The authors of this textbook had a wide range of readers in mind. Their profiles encompass from honors undergraduate to graduate students and include mathematics or engineering researchers. ... it describes all different steps of a typical problem in Computational Sciences and Engineering ... . computer scientists as well as experts from the particular area of application are also among this book eventual readers." (Carlos A. De Moura, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1264, 2013)
