"It contains a wealth of information that should make it useful in signal processing and perhaps some other areas of engineering . I like the book as a possible text for a beginning graduate course in, say, mathematical methods in engineering. It covers a number of topics that are quite useful but are rarely covered in mainstream mathematics courses . a lot of the proofs are short and computational, which is necessary in such a book that covers a large number of topics . it would serve as a good text, provided that the aim of the course is to present a variety of transforms useful in signal processing, as well as the wavelet transforms." Mathematical Reviews "The last two decades have produced tremendous developments in the mathematical theory of wavelets and their great variety of applications. Since wavelet analysis is a relatively new subject, this monograph is intended to be self-contained. The book is designed as a modern and authoritative guide to wavelets, wavelet transform, time-frequency signal analysis and related topics.

It is known that some research workers look upon wavelets as a new basis for representing functions, others consider them as a technique for time-frequency analysis and some others think of them as a new mathematical subject. All these approaches are gathered in this book, which presents an accessible, introductory survey of new wavelet analysis tools and the way they can be applied to fundamental analysis problems. We point out the clear, intuitive style of [the] presentation, and the numerous examples demonstrated through[out] the book illustrate how methods work in a step-by-step manner. This way, the book becomes ideal for a broad audience including advanced undergraduate students, graduate[s] and professionals in signal processing. Also, the book provides the reader with a thorough mathematical background, and the wide variety of applications cover the interdisciplinary collaborative research in applied mathematics."
