Elements of Wavelets for Engineers and Scientists
Mathematics for nonmathematicians (engineering, social sciences, etc.) (00A06) Introductory exposition (textbooks, tutorial papers, etc.) pertaining to harmonic analysis on Euclidean spaces (42-01) Nontrigonometric harmonic analysis involving wavelets and other special systems (42C40) Signal theory (characterization, reconstruction, filtering, etc.) (94A12)
The book is devoted mainly to non-mathematicians who want to become familiar with wavelets. It is organized in such a way that starting with very standard level of mathematical education one could develop her/his abilities to use the wavelets in practical applications. Another goal of the book is to prepare the reader to understand more conceptual mathematical texts on the subject. But the main idea is to explain the basic ideas of the wavelet analysis on a number of working examples (in fact, the authors have worked out more than 80 examples on different aspects of the theory, most of them numerically). The book explains also a number of procedures in MATLAB package. The book consists of Preface, the main part is divided into 11 Chapters and Index. Each chapter begins with a short introduction containing an explanation of ideas to be developed, historical background and the goals of the chapter. The main text is usually written on the base of very simple description of the mathematical notions to be involved. Such description makes the text self-contained and very useful for understanding. One more feature of the book is that the authors try to compare ``engineering and ``mathematical points of view. Therefore some titles of the chapters are mathematical. Anyway, even these chapters contain application directed examples and certain pieces of the wavelet analysis. These chapters are ``Functions and Transforms, ``Vectors, ``Basis and Dimension and ``Linear transformations. There are also a number of titles which are of the specific nature very close to the main ideas of wavelets, namely, ``Sampling Theorem, ``Multirate processing, ``Fast Fourier transform. At last the book ends by the specialized wavelet-type chapters: ``Wavelet transform, ``Quadrature mirror filters, ``Practical wavelets and filters, ``Using wavelets. Inspite the fact that this book is a sand-piece in an ocean of publications on wavelets, it has its own auditorium (mainly engineers and beginners in the subject) and some specific attractive features. It should be mentioned also that the book can be helpful as a source for lectures on wavelets for engineers and specialists in different branches of science.
