Complex Modeling: Insights into our body through computer tomography – perspectives of a project day on inverse problems
Résumé
How does an autonomous vehicle recognize a traffic sign? How can seismic measurements be used to determine the origin of an earthquake? How do you get a three-dimensional tomographic reconstruction of a body part from a medical scanner? The methods used to answer all these questions come from the field of so-called inverse problems and are central to our society. They are omnipresent in technology, science and in everyday life and include mathematics without any people being aware. The process of mathematical modeling is used to solve inverse problems. Complex problems are simplified in such a way that mathematical models are developed and then accurate solutions can be calculated. The question now arises as to whether high school students are able to independently and accurately solve these kind of questions while only using their mathematical school knowledge and the computer. An approach to show how this could be done is given in this paper.
