We are very pleased to note the publication of our textbook, Parameter Estimation and Inverse Problems, by Elsevier Academic Press (ISBN: 0-12-065604-3; Elsevier Book site).
The authors express sincere thanks to the instructors, reviewers, and students who were so helpful in facilitating its completion.
This web site is a continually updated resource site for the user community, and we invite readers to contact us with any questions, errata, ancillary exercises, etc.
For Instructors:
An accompanying Parameter Estimation and Inverse Problems Instructor's Guide (ISBN: 0-12-088792-4) is available to instructors. The Guide contains overviews of all of the chapters and suggestions for instructors, as well as solutions to all problems in the book.
Elsevier maintains an Instructor-only web site that allows teachers to order the Instructor's Guide and to request desk copies of the textbook. The Elsevier textbook sales representative can also be emailed directly.
