Download or read book Wavelets: An Elementary Treatment Of Theory And Applications written by Tom H Koornwinder and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1993-06-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, some knowledge of wavelets is almost mandatory for mathematicians, physicists and electrical engineers. The emphasis in this volume, based on an intensive course on Wavelets given at CWI, Amsterdam, is on the affine case. The first part presents a concise introduction of the underlying theory to the uninitiated reader. The second part gives applications in various areas. Some of the contributions here are a fresh exposition of earlier work by others, while other papers contain new results by the authors. The areas are so diverse as seismic processing, quadrature formulae, and wavelet bases adapted to inhomogeneous cases.
