COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES:

The objective of this course is to establish the theory necessary to understand and use wavelets and
related constructions. A particular emphasis will be put on constructions of wavelets that are suitable
to implement efficient algorithms. This course can be applicable in signal processing, communications,
and sensing where time-frequency transforms play an important role. The course has computer and
research projects involving independent study.
