Description and aim
The course is concerned with mathematical analysis of inverse problems for partial differential equations of evolution.  The inverse problems are physically well motivated and their types are comprehensive, so that the analyses require us various mathematical techniques.  Researches for inverse problems are greatly waiting for more participants.
This course is intended to be designed as a self-contained introduction and prepared also for audience who are interested in inverse problems as research targets.
   We start with some physical backgrounds and short glances at several inverse problems.  The main part is the methodology based on Carleman estimates.
The preliminary knowledge is the basic calculus, which is assumed to be provided in first-and second- years of undergraduate courses, although some parts are picked up from current research outputs by the lecturer and his colleagues.  An abridged lecture note will be offered.
