Birkhauser An Introduction to Wavelet Analysis (Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis)

A new text/reference offering a comprehensive and detailed presentation of wavelet theory, principles and methods. It presents basic theory of wavelet bases and transforms without assuming knowledge of advanced mathematics. The book motivates the central ideas of wavelets by discussing Haar series in depth and then presenting a more generalized viewpoint. The material is presented with many examples, exercises and thorough references. An essential text/reference for applied mathematicians, engineers and scientists.
