Product Description
Drawing on researchers in the United States and France, this work tells the story of the wavelet transform - a scientifically intriguing method of encoding information with many practical applications. Devoid of formulas, the main text relates a story of people and ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars My world!, 1 Sep 2002
By Palle E T Jorgensen "Palle Jorgensen" (Iowa City, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I am a math professor,-- and I often wondered if it wouldn't be possible to get some essential math ideas accross to almost anyone, --and with fewer equations. Ideas can be burried in symbolism;-- not always! But it does happen. Many of my colleagues tell me that if it were possible, then it would be done. The author of this lovely little book didn't take math courses (she says!). Professional mathematicians would most likely agree with me that she (the author) did in fact communicate the essential ideas behind wavelets (and did it well!);- and so she must have understood them!! Perhaps, anyone who really wants to, can penetrate a specialized math discipline;-- I would guess. Perhaps it is not even hard!? At least this book proves that it is not impossible to communicate
the beauty of math;--and its uses. Take a look at the book, and judge for yourself!
It is fun too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest book I have ever read, 25 May 2006
By A. markazi "L. Ayoubian" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a PhD student and my research area is wavelet analysis. I found this book unbelievably easy to read and understand. It feels like you are reading a novel, not a technical book. In a way I trust this book more than any other book written in this area as it has been reviewed by the most well-known scientist and mathematicians of the field such as Meyer, Daubechies, Mallet, Rioul and so many more...Don't hesitate, buy this book. Barbara you did a great job and we all owe you big time.
