  • GEOL 5215: Inverse Theory

    3.00 Credits
    University of Wyoming

    Inverse theory is about learning the techniques to invert data for an acceptable model. The simplest example is least-squares fitting of a line. Covers inversion of both over and under-determined inverse problems, regularization techniques, bayesian theroy, along with probabilistic viewpoints. Prerequisites: graduate standing in geology and geophysics; linear algebra, MATLAB programming.
