An Introduction to Parameter Estimation and Inverse Problems

Dates: 09-13 May 2016 (5 sessions)
Time: 09:30-11:30 (a total of 10 hours)

In this short course we are going to recall some basics of Inverse Problems. It is only assumed that the audience is familiar with the basic linear algebra and numerical methods. Nothing else is required to attend this course (except active participation). Everybody who wishes to be introduced to inverse problems is welcome.
