Description
Parameter Estimation and Inverse Problems primarily serves as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and introductory
graduate courses. Class notes have been developed and reside on the World Wide Web for faciliting use and feedback by teaching colleagues.
The authors' treatment promotes an understanding of fundamental and practical issus associated with parameter fitting and inverse
problems including basic theory of inverse problems, statistical issues, computational issues, and an understanding of how to analyze
the success and limitations of solutions to these probles. The text is also a practical resource for general students and professional
researchers, where techniques and concepts can be readily picked up on a chapter-by-chapter basis.
Parameter Estimation and
Inverse Problems is structured around a course at New Mexico Tech and is designed to be accessible to typical graduate students
in the physical sciences who may not have an extensive mathematical background. It is accompanied by a Web site that contains Matlab
code corresponding to all examples.
