Review

"In many respects the book is a personal view of the field, and others would no doubt have tackled the undertaking quite differently; this actually adds to the book's interest.. I believe it is accessible to any scientifically minded reader with rudimentary knowledge of Fourier analysis; furthermore, the seasoned mathematician will find discussions of many interesting nonmathematical topics.. I recommend the book as a delightful introduction to wavelets." --Ingrid Daubechies, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Science, Vol. 262, December 3, 1993."

Book Description

This long-awaited update of Meyer's Wavelets: Algorithms and Applications includes completely new chapters on four topics: wavelets and the study of turbulence, wavelets and fractals (which includes an analysis of Riemann's nondifferentiable function), data compression, and wavelets in astronomy. Contains up-to-date information on the interplay between wavelets and nonlinear approximation.
