Ten Lectures on Wavelets, Paperback by Daubechies, Ingrid, ISBN 0898712742, ISBN-13 9780898712742, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK Wavelets are a fairly simple mathematical tool now being applied to the compression of data such as fingerprints, weather satellite photographs, and medical x-rays that were previously thought to be impossible to condense without losing crucial details. Because of their interdisciplinary origins, wavelets (and these ten lectures delivered at a June 1990 conference, Lowell, Massachusetts) hold interest for scientists and engineers of diverse backgrounds.

About this product

Product Information

This monograph contains 10 lectures presented by Dr. Daubechies as the principal speaker at the 1990 CBMS-NSF Conference on Wavelets and Applications. Wavelets are a mathematical development that many experts think may revolutionize the world of information storage and retrieval. They are a fairly simple mathematical tool now being applied to the compression of data, such as fingerprints, weather satellite photographs, and medical x-rays - that were previously thought to be impossible to condense without losing crucial details. The opening chapter provides an overview of the main problems presented in the book. Following chapters discuss the theoretical and practical aspects of wavelet theory, including wavelet transforms, orthonormal bases of wavelets, and characterization of functional spaces by means of wavelets. The last chapter presents several topics under active research, as multidimensional wavelets, wavelet packet bases, and a construction of wavelets tailored to decompose functions defined in a finite interval.
