Description

Book Synopsis
Inverse theory concerns the mathematical techniques that enable researchers to use the available information to build a model of the unknown system or to determine its essential properties. This book aims to provide a systematic development of inverse theory at the graduate and professional level. It is illustrated with examples from geophysics.

Trade Review
"This is [a] very good value for [the] money... The book describes forefront techniques which will be of use to established researchers, and yet, by its very style, the book is highly accessible to beginners. I heartily recommend it, not only to geophysicists, but to any scientist who is concerned with state-of-the art methods of interpreting his or her data."--Geophysical Journal International
