4.0 out of 5 stars
A demanding work by true experts and enthusiasts,

This review is from: Coherent States, Wavelets, and Their Generalizations (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics) (Hardcover)
The authors of this book are probably the world's most knowledgeable experts on the topic. They have a tremendous enthusiasm for their subject and there is great beauty in the way they present it. Coherent states arise from quantum mechanics and allow the user to take a classical (non-quantum) view of quantum states in physics. Wavelets, on the other hand, arise from signal and image processing and provide a time-frequency view of a signal, showing which frequencies are present in a signal at each time point (or which spatial scales are present in an image at each location). The book ties these two theories together very elegantly, thereby showing the full power of coherent states. The book assumes extensive knowledge of quantum mechanics and pure mathematics, and demands a lot of the reader.
