Most treatments ong>ofong> the subject involve ideas from functional ong>analysisong>, ong>harmonicong> ong>analysisong>, and other difficult mathematical techniques. Wavelets and their Scientific Applications ong>ofong>fers an introduction to wavelet ong>analysisong> without mathematical rigor, requiring only algebra and some very basic calculus. The author stresses applications, and explains, using elementary algebra, how wavelet methods are typically applied in analyzing digital data. Song>ofong>tware is available for download through CRC's Website that will enable recording, playing, and modifying sound files, and includes a facility for displaying, printing and modifying IEEE gray field images. Unlike other song>ofong>tware packages for wavelet ong>analysisong>, the author developed this attractive, easy-to-use song>ofong>tware without the need for a C++ compiler or MATLABa. Throughout the book the author provides numerous suggestions for computer experiments designed to challenge and enhance the reader's comprehension and provide practice in applying the concepts learned. Wavelets and their Scientific Applications thus provides the perfect vehicle for understanding wavelets and their uses. It provides a fast-track learning opportunity for scientists and mathematicians unfamiliar with wavelet concepts and applications, and it is ideal for anyone without an extensive mathematical background.
