Inverse Problems of Mathematical Physics
A feeling for "inverse problems" can be obtained, for example, by noting that not every object in nature is accessible to direct study, and consequently, its properties must be judged indirectly.

The bowels of the Earth may serve as an example and problems of this type have been known for some time in geophysics. At the same time the posing of inverse problems is characteristic of scientific investigation and interest in them has been on the increase in many fields of science, physics in particular.
