In this course we will define inverse problems and discuss some general methodology for their solution. In particular we will focus on linear inverse problem. Using these tools, we will study some classic and modern inverse problems. About half of the course will be theoretical development and the other half will be application to specific problems.
This course will provides full details on a vriety of inverse problem-solving techniques, includes examples and algorithms.
