Textbook Information
This book is intended to serve as reference for anyone concerned with the application of wavelets to signal processing. It has evolved from material used to teach "wavelet signal processing" courses in electrical engineering departments at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Tel Aviv University, as well as applied mathematics departments at the Courant Institute of New York University and Ecole Polytechnique in Paris.
It provides a brood perspective on the principles and applications of transient signal processing with wavelets; emphasizes intuitive understanding, while providing the mathematical foundations and description of fast algorithms; content is accessible on several levels of complexity, depending on the individual reader's needs.From the Bookjacket
Audience: Academics and researchers, research and development engineers in industry, and graduate-level students.
"Mallat has not only written a treatise, but also an excellent graduate text for students in computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics" John J. Benedetto, SIAM review

July 10, 2002: The subject of wavelets has many facets, --infinite in all directions;-- some of the more exciting sides of the subject are algorithmic, and the underlying mathematical principles are both simple and powerful. Stephane Mallat's great, and readable, book, in both of its editions, brings this out wonderfully!
