Customer Reviews

Well... It was written by Ingrid!!

What can I say, Wavelets explained by Ingrid Daubechies! You can't go wrong.

Great for everyone!

This book has become a classic,-- and a hit;-- for more than ten reasons. It is multilayered, and yet presents a unity of ideas: The material, and the writing is engaging for the beginner, and for the research mathematician alike. When I used it in my teaching, it was equally popular with the math students, and those from engineering. I don't know if I can say this about any other book I have taught from. The students could follow all the carefully presented proofs, and the engineer could generate algorithms from the applied chapters.

Not for the faint of heart!

This book is a treasure of details if you know what you are doing. As another reviewer noted, it is not for the beginner. But if you have had some experience with the subject this is a must have for your library shelf.

Ten Lectures on Wavelets

This book is classic. For anyone who wants really to know wavelets, in particular comapctly supported wavelets, this book is a must-read. Also, this book is truly well-written, which makes it suitable for text of a beginning gradaute course. Thanks to Dr. Dabechies!

A Fantastic Primer on Wavelets

Clearly Dr. Daubechies (the inventor of wavelets herself) has written the best (and most comprehensive) introduction to wavelets available. This book is suitable for the beginning graduate student in mathematics or physics and will also provide a extremely useful reference guide for years to come!
