Excellent textbook and reference, which is readable!
Review written by: Mathematics Student From
I needed to learn Fourier Analysis and Wavelets, and this book is excellent as a textbook and as a reference. It is also quite readable. We need more mathematics books like this one.

Fourier Analysis and Wavelets for Everyone
Review written by: R. S. Wenocur From
As a probabilist and statistician, with a Ph.D., having worked at universities, as a consultant, and in industry for approximately forty years, I had previously employed Fourier Analysis only as a tool, not having studied the subject as a discipline unto itself. Dr. Pinsky's book has allowed me to learn the subject more deeply, and from a different, exciting viewpoint. In addition, I needed a resource that would permit me to learn about wavelets. How wonderful to find a book that includes both topics! Moreover, this book is a pleasure to read, with pencil and paper, to work through the ideas. It is extraordinarily well-written, which is not surprising, given the clarity and excellence of Dr. Mark A. Pinsky's other works. Pinsky's grammar is excellent, which is extremely refreshing. Many modern authors cause me to believe that I should have a red pen to correct grammatical errors while reading their works. This book is much more than just a textbook; it is beautiful mathematically and beautifully written.

For the Students!
Review written by: Palle E T Jorgensen From Iowa City, Iowa United States
Courses in harmonic analysis have a central place in the course offerings of every math department, be it pure or applied;-- and the subject is as important as ever! Yet it has not always been easy for an instructor to find a book that is right for the students. Some books might be too skimpy on proofs, or not deep enough.-- Or the applications may somehow be artificial, or contrived. Afterall, we teach the material to engineers!-- It is a relief to find, in Pinsky's lovely new book, a balanced approach to the subject. The motivation and the history receive a beautiful presentation, as do the technical points and proofs. And the historical comments- sprinkled throughout the book- bring the subject to life. At the same time, the book is forward looking, and it has been tested in courses. Great exercises! The structure of the exposition is friendly, and gently leads the reader toward the exciting new wavelet material in the last hundred or so pages of the book. The student thereby gets a sense of how the central questions in wavelet theory have their root in the more classical ideas of harmonic analysis.
