Title: More like "Lecture Notes on Wavelets"
Review: If the book provideda clear introduction to wavelets and their implementation,this would be fine. In fact, this book is more like a setof lecture notes than a complete text book. I had already implemented Haarwavelets and had started working on Daubechies wavelets.Even with this background, I found the coverage in thisbook obscure and difficult to understand. The authorsapproach wavelets, including Haar wavelets, throughlinear algebra. While this can be justified by the factthat complex wavelets like Daubechies are best describedthis way, the coverage in this book is obscure. I comparethis to Gilbert Strang's short paper "Wavelets", publishedin American Scientist, April 1994.It is difficult for me to see how anyone could understandDaubechies wavelets with this book alone.My advice is buy another book.
