Review: Radar imaging is a field that was developed within the engineering community but it has many interesting and challenging open problems for mathematicians. This book shows the connection between the physics and the mathematics, giving an intuitive approach to the basic ideas. Radio Detection And Ranging (RADAR) was originally developed for detecting objects and determining their position using echo-location. Since then it has evolved to provide a variety of very complex functions, one of which is imaging. Radar imaging involves partial differential equations, scattering theory, microlocal analysis, integral geometry, linear algebra, electromagnetic theory, harmonic analysis, approximation theory, group theory and statistics. This book aims to provide the mathematician with the background needed to work in the field.
