Synopsis

Based on a postgraduate course given by the author at the EPFL in January and February 1998, this book is intended to make the theory of wavelets understandable to the widest possible audience. In addition to a self-contained and intuitive presentation of the theory of wavelets, this book contains extensive tables with the basic filter coefficients of differential operators in several wavelet families. Anyone wishing to do so should be able to solve partial differential equations numerically in physics, chemistry or engineering using wavelets. Wavelets are a base set with extraordinary properties for the solution of differential equations. Their flexibility and efficiency allows us to deal with problems which are difficult, or even impossible, to resolve with conventional methods. It is expected that the theory of wavelets will soon become part of science and engineering curricula in the same way that Fourier analysis is nowadays.
