I will present some recent developments in the theory and practice of direct and inverse Sturm-Liouville problems on finite and infinite intervals which result in a new approach for solving direct and inverse spectral and scattering problems [1]. The approach is based on the notion of transmutation (transformation) operators and their efficient construction. Analytical representations for solutions of Sturm-Liouville equations are derived in the form of functional series revealing interesting special features and lending themselves to direct and simple numerical solution of a wide variety of problems.
