Anthony Teolis: "Computational Signal Processing with Wavelets"
Birkh�user Boston 1998, ISBN 0-8176-3909-8

After a glance into one of the highly mathematical books around Wavelet
theory, I enjoyed reading this one.
Although it contains a lot of mathematics, which might be able to discourage
you, it's rather understandable (isn't it?).
Lot of practical stuff inside, including Matlab code for graphical approach.

Gilbert Strang co-authored a book on wavelets. I haven't read this
perticular book, but a few others by Strang. See below.

Ouch! I think you'll have to search hard to find one. DEs are
notoriousin that there are tailor-made numerical methods for
almost every nuance of problem; there are few generic methods
available. FEM and difference equations are probably what come
closest to generic methods for DEs, but these things are
hardly easy to read.

Strang's books on linear algebra and applied maths are very easy to
read, for maths books. Not thorough enough in the details to be a
sole book for a course, but brilliant support literature.

Why not get Strang's book on wavelet on loan from a library (I think
he even may have written something on FEM as well...) and have
a look for yourself?

Hi,

I was wondering what book do you people recommend for learning Wavelet
analysis. Also I appreciate if you answer the same question for
differential equations and their numerical methods of solution.
I need them to be easily written and at the same time, profound.

I just recently read the book "Understanding Digital Signal Processing" by
Rick Lyons and enjoyed it a lot. I appreciate if your suggestions are oon
the same style of book: easy to read and at the same time, profound.


I heard that Strang's wavelets book is good. However, I just now went to
Amazon and many of the Customer Reviews for Strang's book are not good.
Therefore I don't know what to do.

Please advise
thanks
