Reviews
"...a very useful textbook at undergraduate and graduate-level courses teaching the numerical techniques used in parameter estimation...it
will certainly be a very useful reference also for practitioners who need a guide in selecting the proper mathematical approach when
solving real problems, not only in geophysics, but also other branches of science and engineering."
-Wojciech Debski, Institute of Geophysics,
Polish Academy of Sciences
"The great strength of this book is that it is a 'one-shop-stop' for solving inverse problems; it contains
many different methods for solving your particular problems and, in general, all of the background mathematics to help you understand
the method itself."
-John Brittan, in THE LEADING EDGE, SEPT 2005
"The writing is uniformly clear; one unfamiliar with even the most
basic ideas of inverse theory will find it ideal for self-study. ...I found the authors? treatment of such concepts as existence, uniqueness,
instability, resolution, and ill-posedness to be particularly succinct. They do a fine job in distinguishing the continuous from the
discrete case, and they point out some of the pitfalls that can arise when going from one to the other, yet without becoming bogged down
in sterile mathematical detail. ...This is an exceptionally well written introductory text which, for a change, is reasonably priced,
placing it at least within reach of a college student."
-Sven Treitel, The Leading Edge, March 2006
?This is a well designed
textbook with a very clean approach [and] a fine introduction for inverse problems in applied fields. ?The tone of the writing is conversational
in a way that allows the ideas to come across clearly, while the content is mathematically rigorous, presenting details relevent to the
topic and providing references for the rest.?
-Paul Phillips, University of Dallas for MAA, February 2006
"A well-presented textbook
[and] a one-stop-shop for solving inverse problems...a well recommended addition to the technical library of anybody who has to deal
with inverse problems on a regular basis."
--John Brittan, Walton-on-Thames, UK for "The Leading Edge", September 2005
