Opis

This work provides guidelines for all those interested in wavelets and their applications to biomedical problems. It includes ready-to-use algorithms for immediate application, and examples illustrating how wavelet transforms are put into practice.

Recenzje

"The book is well-produced, and on the whole well-written. It should be useful to research students entering the field, and could be inspiring to mathematics undergraduates interested in real, and indisputably useful, applications of their subject."
