This book presents important recent developments in mathematical and computational methods used in impedance imaging and the theory of composite materials. The exposition brings simplicity to the advanced material by augmenting the theory with interesting practical examples and numerical illustrations. An introductory chapter covers the necessary basics. An extensive bibliography and open problems at the end of each chapter enhance the text. Graduate students and researchers in mathematics will benefit from this book. Researchers in engineering and physics might also find it helpful.
