Spline Functions and the Theory of Wavelets

by Serge Dubuc (Editor)

Even mathematics sounds sexier in French. CRM is the U. of Montreal's Centre de Recherches MathTmatiques created in 1968 to promote research in pure and applied mathematics and related disciplines which, naturally, has a website. As the editors explain, spline functions and the theory of wavelets with far- ranging applications in physics, computer science, statistics, imaging, and the theory of fractals emanated from a brew of ideas from Schoenberg and de Boor (for spline functions) to Morley & Grossman, Meyer, and Daubechies (for wavelet theory). The 27 contributions of the 1996 CRM workshops are grouped in four parts, each with an introduction and spline functions, theory of wavelets, wavelets in physics, and wavelets in statistics.
