We give an overview on multiscale algorithms for the solution of boundary integral equations which are based on the use of wavelets. We describe the wavelet algorithm and the theoretical results on its stability, convergence, and complexity. Moreover, we discuss the application of the method to the solution of a two-dimensional scattering problem of acoustic or electromagnetic waves and to the solution of a fixed geodetic boundary value problem for the gravity field of the earth. The computational tests confirm the high compression rates and the saving of computation time predicted by the theory. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0871.00042].
