Course material

I use the book

A. Jensen, A. la Cour-Harbo: Ripples in Mathematics - The Discrete Wavelet Transform, Springer-Verlag 2001

for a number of the results presented in the course. More specifically, the material in Chapters 1 - 5, together with parts of Chapters 8 and 9, were presented in the November sessions.

You will also need the material in Chapters 13 and 11 for your computer experiments. The following material for the course is available:
