Description for Approximation Theory
Paperback. Offers an elementary introduction to a classical area of mathematics - approximation theory - in a way that naturally leads to the modern field of wavelets. This book features classical, illustrative examples and constructions, exercises, and a discussion of the role of wavelets to areas such as digital signal processing and data compression. Series: Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis. Num Pages: 156 pages, 5 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBC; PBW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 233 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 262.
This book gives an elementary introduction to a classical area of mathemat ics - approximation theory - in a way that naturally leads to the modern field of wavelets. The main thread throughout the book is the idea of ap proximating "complicated expressions" with "simpler expressions," and how this plays a decisive role in many areas of modern mathematics and its applications. One of the main goals of the presentation is to make it clear to the reader that mathematics is a subject in a state of continuous evolution. This fact is usually difficult to explain to students at or ... Read more

Reviews for Approximation Theory
"Approximation methods and wavelets have found many important applications in signal processing. This well-written textbook provides an elementary introduction to approximation theory. The authors concentrate on the presentation of main ideas and demonstrate the great influence of classical approximation theory on modern applied mathematics. This book, with many illustrative examples, is easy to read…[and] will be very useful for anyone ... Read more
