About this book :-
"From Fourier Analysis to Wavelets" by Jonas Gomes and Luiz Velho is a clear introduction to modern "signal processing" techniques, connecting classical "Fourier analysis" with "wavelet transforms". The book starts with the fundamentals of the "Fourier transform" and windowed Fourier transform, building a foundation for understanding multiresolution representations of signals and functions. It emphasizes conceptual understanding while gradually introducing practical tools for function decomposition and reconstruction in both continuous and discrete domains.
The text covers essential topics such as "filter banks", orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelets, and the Fast Wavelet Transform, illustrating how these methods extend Fourier techniques to capture local signal features efficiently. It also includes appendices on linear systems, filtering, and the Z transform, providing context and mathematical tools that support the transition from classical to modern analysis frameworks.
Designed for students and practitioners with a background in linear algebra and calculus, "From Fourier Analysis to Wavelets" bridges theory and application. By combining "Fourier analysis", "wavelet transforms", and multiresolution ideas, it equips readers to analyze and process signals effectively in applications ranging from image and audio processing to applied mathematics and engineering. The book balances rigor with clarity, making complex concepts accessible without sacrificing depth.
