About
About the course
Course content
Modeling methods for electromagnetic and seismic wave propagation in one-dimensional and three-dimensional anisotropic media. Inversion is defined as model fitting problem with unknown parameter which are estimated by Bayes estimation or maximum likelihood. Numerical solution of linear and non-linear least-squares problems. Parameter estimation and migration for electromagnetic and elastic waves.
