Description
The first part comprises a textbook for a one-semester graduate or advanced undergraduate course on wavelets and time-frequency analysis for science, engineering, and mathematics students not presumed to have a sophisticated mathematics background. The second part is more advanced, reporting original research, and can be used for a second semester or combined with the first part as a reference for a research seminar.

This volume is designed as a textbook for an introductory course on wavelet analysis and time-frequency analysis aimed at graduate students or advanced undergraduates in science and engineering. It can also be used as a self-study or reference book by practicing researchers in signal analysis and related areas. Since the expected audience is not presumed to have a high level of mathematical background, much of the needed analytical machinery is developed from the beginning. The only prerequisites for the first eight chapters are matrix theory, Fourier series, and Fourier integral transforms. Each of these chapters ends with a set of straightforward exercises designed to drive home the concepts just covered, and the many graphics should further facilitate absorption.
