This book presents important recent developments in mathematical and computational methods used in impedance imaging and the theory of composite materials. The methods involved come from various areas of pure and applied mathematics, such as potential theory, PDEs, complex analysis, and numerical methods. The unifying thread in this book is the use of generalized polarization and moment tensors.The main approach is based on modern layer potential techniques. By augmenting the theory with interesting practical examples and numerical illustrations.
