Despite its great practical importance, the theory of inverse problems remains poorly known. Indeed, physics was built by solving direct problems: from a given model to the corresponding measurable data. The opposite approach: from observed data to model parameters – the solution of an ‘inverse’ problem – is not so easy. It is, however, essential in many fields.
