We discuss the philosophy, mathematics, and varied approaches to inverse problems, particularly geometric inverse problems with applications to medical imaging using tomography as a case study. The main mathematical topics we touch on are differential equations, harmonic analysis, and some basic representation theory. No background in medical imaging or sophisticated mathematics is required.
