Abstract
Various approaches to the solution of the inverse scattering problem are discussed here, and illustrated by selected examples. Inverse scattering, having originated with quantum mechanical scattering problems, has more recently become of interest in acoustic and electromagnetic areas, in geophysics as well as in oceanography. These topics will be described here both based on general approaches, or more specifically as based on the use of target resonances, or of surface waves on the target.
