Ripples in Mathematics

Summary: Users of wavelets.
Review: The users of wavelets include engineers who design filters. The wavelet lifting technique is a powerful tool, and extraordinarily practical. The authors present it very nicely, and the book is an attractive source where anyone can pick up the essentials.

Summary: Very good book on how to do wavelet based signal processing
Review: This is one of the books that shows you how to implement wavelets, it does so in a good way. Some of the sentences, although, could have been written better. It is not a book for 'dummies'. It does require you to think hard. Lifting is very well explained, as are the implementation issues that prop up when you try to work with finite data sets.

Example codes in Matlab, given at the end helped me to understand a lot. Wonderful book for implementation, provided that you work hard and think hard. This book does require you to be familiar with Z transform to understand how lifting is linked to Filter Banks. So be warned..

Summary: The non-mathematician-friendly introduction to wavelets
Review: While most wavelets books are terribly difficult from a mathematical viewpoint, this book introduces the reader to wavelets from the practical viewpoint. It introduces the procedure to compute the wavelet coefficients without speaking about mathematical functions. If you don't care about functional spaces, then go to this one. I really think this book is the most friendly introduction to wavelets for people who don't care about maths.
