Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Some topics: ill-posed problems and their numerical solution by regularization methods, regularization of linear problems, Tikhonov regularization, regularization of non linear problems.
Some applications: differentation as an invers problem, X-ray tomography, data-assimilation for weather and climate prediction, inverse scattering, optimal design, image processing, parameter identification.
Intended learning outcomes
After the course the students are expected to understand basic mathematical and numerical methods to solve inverse problems related to partial differential equations.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
