Over the years, impairment has been discussed in bioarchaeology,
with some scholars providing carefully contextualized explanations
for their causes and consequences. Such investigations typically
take a case study approach and focus on the functional aspects of
impairments. However, these interpretations are disconnected from
disability theory discourse. Other social sciences and the
humanities have far surpassed most of anthropology (with the
exception of medical anthropology) in their integration of social
theories of disability. This volume has three goals: The first goal
of this edited volume is to present theoretical and methodological
discussions on impairment and disability. The second goal of this
volume is to emphasize the necessity of interdisciplinarity in
discussions of impairment and disability within bioarchaeology. The
third goal of the volume is to present various methodological
approaches to quantifying impairment in skeletonized and mummified
remains. This volume serves to engage scholars from many
disciplines in our exploration of disability in the past, with
particular emphasis on the bioarchaeological context.

Inverse problems arise in practical applications whenever there is
a need to interpret indirect measurements. This book explains how
to identify ill-posed inverse problems arising in practice and how
to design computational solution methods for them; explains
computational approaches in a hands-on fashion, with related codes
available on a website; and serves as a convenient entry point to
practical inversion. The guiding linear inversion examples are the
problem of image deblurring, x-ray tomography, and backward
parabolic problems, including heat transfer, and electrical
impedance tomography is used as the guiding nonlinear inversion
example. The book's nonlinear material combines the
analytic-geometric research tradition and the regularization-based
school of thought in a fruitful manner, paving the way to new
theorems and algorithms for nonlinear inverse problems.
Furthermore, it is the only mathematical textbook with a thorough
treatment of electrical impedance tomography, and these sections
are suitable for beginning and experienced researchers in
mathematics and engineering.
