The marriage of signal processing and wavelets has spun off a host of exciting applications of math and algorithms. The use of wavelets outside of math itself is a recent sucess story. As a rule, it was an unexpected combination of ideas,-- as opposed to a single one, that generated the most powerful applications. The present very nice book is aimed at students taking a service course, for example electrical or optical engineers, but it has broader appeal as well. The authors start with basic principles from math, and move on to multicarrier communication systems..., and boundary value probems.

I have been studying in this field for over five years now, and I find the book very comprehensive and fundamental. Compared to most of the popular books on Wavelet analysis, this book touches the subject from its root, and answering some basic questions like what is a wavelet, what is its origin, and how is it is useful for performing Time Scale signal analysis. The best part that I find is that the book perfectly balances a mathematician perspective of the subject matter with that of an Engineer's viewpoint. The reader will find lots of examples, MATLAB codes, illustration and exercises, which are hard to find in other books. The authors have presented the material with a sound theoretical foundation with lots of clearly presented definitions and theorems. The book also introduces a wide range of applications in the field of Signal and Image analysis, data compression, Seismic analysis, etc.

This book has been carefully crafted as opposed to one of those collections of journal articles that just fills in concepts, without explaining them clearly. I would strongly suggest this book for the beginners as well as intermediate level students.

I like the book it was great reading it. But next time dont use post office for your free shipping, they dont deliver in time. Also up till now, I have not receive my money back when amazon cancelled the first booking. Please return my $88.
