Ten Lectures on Wavelets FROM THE PUBLISHER
About the Author
Ingrid Daubechies is in the mathematics department and at the Program
in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University. She
was previously a member of the technical staff at AT&T Bell
Laboratories while on leave from her tenured position in the
theoretical physics department at the Free University, Brussels, and
was a full professor in the mathematics department at Rutgers
University. She was awarded the 1997 Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in
Mathematics.
She is a frequent lecturer and has published more than 46 papers.
FROM THE CRITICS
Albert Cohen - Mathematical Reviews
This book is both a tutorial on wavelets and a review of the most
advanced research in this domain...it also gives many practical
examples and describes several applications (in particular, in signal
processing, image coding and numerical analysis.)
Nicolae Popa - Romanian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics
This is a marvelous book written by one of the principal contributors
to the field. ...a great part of the volume under review is dedicated
to the engineering and physical origins of wavelets. ...The book style
is alert and the interest of the potential reader is continuously kept
alive. I think that this book is very useful to mathematicians as well
as to people interested in the wavelets applications (engineers,
physicists, etc.).
D. H. Griffel - The Mathematical Gazette
...Ingrid Daubechies is a leading wavelet theorist; this book gives a
clear and systematic treatment of the mathematics. Applications are
kept in mind all the time, but the main focus of attention is a
rigorous development of the theory. ...The book is carefully written;
proofs are given in detail for the benefit of non-expert readers yet
there is plenty of broad-brush explanation to balance the rigorous
mathematical detail.
Christopher Heil - SIAM Review
...this is a clearly written introduction to the mathematics of
wavelets that provides solid background material on most of the major
aspects of the current theory. Especially appealing is the way in
which the relationships between wavelets and other areas are pointed
out. .I feel certain that this will be the major introductory text on
wavelets for some time to come. It will definitely be a welcome
addition to the library of anyone interested in learning the basics of
wavelets.
F. Alberto Grunbaum - Science
The book by Daubechies, who is one of the main developers of the
(wavelet) theory, is the result of an intensive short course. The
presentation is completely engrossing; it is like reading a good,
thick Russian novel. Daubechies has a real knack for making the
material appealing and lively, and there is a definite 'slowing down
for details' at the points that require further elucidation. .This
book can be used for many different purposes, from individual reading
to graduate-level course-work, and it will likely become a classic.Read all 6 "From The Critics" >
