First Course in Wavelets With Fourier Analysis, Hardcover by Boggess, Albert; Narcowich, Francis J., ISBN 0470431172, ISBN-13 9780470431177, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the USFourier analysis has been around for a couple of centuries, say Boggess and Narcowich (both mathematics, Texas A&M U.), but wavelets have only recently caught on, and textbooks on it tend to require a rigorous background, encompassing for example real analysis at the graduate level. Their goal is to introduce the central ideas of the two linked areas, along with some of their applications to signal analysis, to advanced undergraduate students of science, engineering, and mathematics. They assume only a good calculus background and some exposure to linear algebra; even the discussions of applications avoid the deep jargon of signal processing, thus keeping them accessible to a wider audience. Among the topics are inner product spaces, discrete Fourier analysis, multi-resolution analysis, and the Daubechies wavelets. No date is noted for the first edition.
