In particular, theoretical results and numerical procedures for the inverse problems for the conductivity equation, the Lam{\'e} system, as well as the Helmholtz equation are discussed in a readable and informative manner. The general approach developed in this book is based on layer potential techniques and modern asymptotic analysis of partial differential equations. The book is particularly suitable for graduate students in mathematics. Table of contents Introduction.- Part I: Detection of Small Conductivity Inclusions.- 2. Transmission Problem.- 3.
