This article aims to offer a panorama of the study of mathematical billiards. We shall focus on a particular class, the so-called Birkhoff billiards, in which the table consists of a planar, bounded, strictly convex region with smooth boundary. The dynamical properties of these mathematical models are tightly intertwined with the shapeof the billiard table that one considers: understanding to which extent dynamical information allows one to reconstruct the shape of the billiard, is at the ground of interesting conjectures, at the center of intense research activities.
