I disagree with the negative rating that was given by Colin Fox. In my view the book is a well-written introduction to a lot of mathematical terms used in theoretical works on inverse problems. Although the methods may be outdated a little, the mathematical basis of the methods seems to be very good and the examples are easy to understand. The book is focussed on continuous eigenvalue, potential and scattering problems. For discrete inverse problems it is probably wiser to consider a different book. This book helped me to understand the work of mathematicians such as Colton and Kress better. Since I do not have a very mathematical background, I'm curious what theoretical mathematicians say about it.
