| book description |

Originally published in 1999, Wavelets Made EasyÂ offers a lucid and concise explanation of mathematical wavelets.Â Â Written at the level of a first course in calculus and linear algebra, its accessible presentation is designed for undergraduates in a variety of disciplinesâ€”computer science, engineering, mathematics, mathematical sciencesâ€”as well as for practicing professionals in these areas.Â Â The presentÂ softcover reprintÂ retainsÂ theÂ corrections fromÂ theÂ second printing (2001) andÂ makesÂ this uniqueÂ text available to a wider audience. The first chapter startsÂ with a description of the key features and applications of wavelets, focusing on Haar's wavelets but using only high-school mathematics. The next two chapters introduce one-, two-, and three-dimensional wavelets, with only the occasional use of matrix algebra. Â The second part of this book provides the foundations of least-squares approximation, the discrete Fourier transform, and Fourier series. The third part explains the Fourier transform and then demonstrates how to apply basic Fourier analysis to designing and analyzing mathematical wavelets. Particular attention is paid to Daubechies wavelets. Â Numerous exercises, a bibliography, and a comprehensive index combine to make this book an excellent text for the classroom as well as a valuable resource for self-study.
