Biography
Paul S. Addison is a technical fellow who currently runs the R&D Department at Covidien.
"The second edition, a revised and extended version of the `illustrated wavelet transform handbook' presents in a first part an introduction to wavelets from the user perspective and then in a second part a broad spectrum of applications in different fields in science, engineering, medicine and finance…The different applications show the interdisciplinary nature of wavelet transforms and their impact in science and technology. The book is well-suited for practical users of wavelets to get an idea of wavelets and applications in different fields, without demanding too much theory and mathematical background. In conclusion, a practical book on wavelets for users of wavelet tools, who do not want to deal with mathematical details and are ready to renounce rigor of mathematics. Many references and numerous examples in different fields give an overview on this rapidly emerging field."
- Kai Schneider (Marseille), in Zentralblatt MATH 1376."Paul Addison has written a masterfully clear and readable primer on wavelet analysis methods and their many uses in science and engineering. His mathematical expressions are elegant and useful. This book was indispensable to me as I worked to apply wavelet analysis to the radial structure of Saturn’s rings. I am excited now to see this second edition appear with an extensively updated discussion of how wavelet methods are being used across a wide variety of disciplines."
—Matthew S. Tiscareno, Senior Research Scientist, SETI Institute, California"Everything you want to know about wavelets in one book – from the inception of the wavelet transform to its widespread application across the World of Science! This 2nd edition of The Illustrated Wavelet Transform Handbook contains additional details about theoretical aspects of continuous and discrete wavelet transforms and provides state-of-the-art examples of wavelet applications.
