Recent Developments in Inverse Acoustic Scattering Theory

We survey some of the highlights of inverse scattering theory as it has developed over the last 15 years, with emphasis on uniqueness theorems and reconstruction algorithms for time harmonic acoustic waves. Included in our presentation are numerical experiments using real data and numerical examples of the use of inverse scattering methods to detect buried objects.
