Description: Bridging the gap between theory and applications, this monograph provides a framework for the solution of electromagnetic imaging problems in geophysics. It provides a simple explanation of finite volume discretization; a full description of the basic concepts for solving inverse problems through optimization; a summary of applied electromagnetics methods; and MATLAB(R) code for efficient computation. The book will appeal to students and practitioners interested in computational science, data fitting, and applications to electromagnetics.
