Synopsis

Drawing on interviews with leading wavelet researchers in the USA and France, this book tells the story of the rise of the field. It attempts to make the subject accessible to the non-mathematical reader, without sacrificing precision. The material is organized so that the mathematical details can be assimilated at the reader's own pace. The main text is devoid of formulas and relates a story of people and ideas, while separate boxes and appendices contain intricate discussions for the more mathematically minded.
