Ripples in Mathematics: The Discrete Wavelet Transform

From the reviews:

"This book is a very well-written introduction to discrete wavelet transforms, very convenient for students in electrical engineering, computer science, and applied mathematics. It is based on the lifting approach to discrete wavelet transforms ... . MATLAB is used as the computational environment for examples and implementations of discrete wavelet transforms." (Manfred Tasche, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 989 (14), 2002)

"This is an algorithm based, completely elementary introduction to the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and wavelet packet transform, easy to read and easy to understand, well suited for an introductory course on wavelets for undergraduate students of applied sciences or mathematics. ... Implementations and examples using basic Matlab (TM) as well as the public domain ubi-wave wavelet toolbox help to further a deeper understanding of the algorithms." (C. Cenker, Internationale Mathematische Nachrichten, Vol. 56 (189), 2002)

"This book gives an introduction to the discrete wavelet transform and some of its applications. It is based on a novel approach to discrete wavelets called lifting. ... MATLAB is used as the computational environment for examples and implementation of transforms. The book is well suited for undergraduate mathematics and electrical engineering students and engineers in industry." (ETDE Energy Database, December, 2001)
