Short Course:
”INVERSE PROBLEMS IN THE APPLIED SCIENCES AND RECOVERY PROBLEMS FROM PARTIAL INFORMATION”
By Dr. M. Zuhair Nashed, Professor of Mathematics and of Electrical Engineering, University of Delaware, USA.

Course Description:
Many problems in applied mathematics, the physical/natural sciences, and engineering can be classified as direct, inverse, or identification problems. In a direct problem, we are given a cause or input to a “system” and we are asked to determine the effect or output. In an inverse problem, we are given an “observed” output and we want to determine an input (or inputs) that produced the observed output. The purpose of this short course is to provide an introduction of these two important areas and discuss dilemmas and methodologies for solving inverse problems and recovery problems from partial or indirect information.
