SUMMARY:Rothschild Lecture:  The miracle of tomography - Peter Kuchment (T
 exas A&M University)

DESCRIPTION:Tomography strives to image (hopefully non-destructively) the 
 interior of a non-transparent body: human body in medical applications\, s
 ubsurface&nbsp\;in geology\, geophysics and seismology\, internal defects 
 in industrial non-destructive testing\, hidden illicit nuclear sources in 
 homeland security\, and the list can go on ... As manifold are the tomogra
 phy's applications\, are also the physical types of tomographic images and
  mathematics involved.\nThe word "miracle" in the title indicates not only
  the large variety of important tomographic applications\, but also the de
 ar to the mathematician's heart multitude of techniques coming from all ar
 eas of mathematics.\nThis lecture will provide an overview of (some of) to
 mographic ideas\, techniques\, and issues encountered there. No prior know
 ledge of tomography will be assumed.
