Wavelets and their applications: Case Studies

A clear and very readable presentation of key wavelet ideas, and some modern and substantial real life applications. Multiresolutions, noise reduction in data, the conjugate gradient method via wavelets, text-to-speech, and turbulence, are some of the topics. Each chapter can be read by beginners, and yet the reader is quickly led to the heart of the matter, progressing through each chapter. Done by different expert authors, the chapters retain some independence, and yet there is a sense of unity to the book.
