Summary: One of the best!
Comment: The Wells-Resnikoff book on wavelets is in my opinion
one of the best:-- both with regard to the math--the proofs and all that!--, and the applications. The ideas in the book are timeless, and, I expect, it will be a great book for decades to come. It is very strong on both scores. And it is beautifully written: It is all there,- the history, the
motivation, the philosophical points, the applications, the guided tours with friendly author-explainations of what it is all about. For me, this book was a page-turner. I read it on
a long plane flight,- on my way to a wavelet conference in Guangzhou, China. -- And I didn't have jet-lag when I arrived
more than a day later. It may be a bit demanding on some students, but it will be well worth their effort!

Summary: Not good.
Comment: If the authors were less enthusiastic about mathematics for its own sake, they probably would have written a better book. This one is said to be suitable for undergraduates, but I don't think so. I have a master's degree in electrical engineering, and several of the mathematical concepts they mention were just vaguely familiar names to me. That would be OK if I were persuaded that those concepts were essential to an understanding of wavelets, but I'm not. The book seems somewhat ill organized as well; new terminology should be defined before it's used, not fifty pages later.

Summary: Strong mathematical foundations
Comment: This is a wonderful book for the pure mathematicians out there. Unlike many other texts, this book spans the entire range of explanation from high-level outline through the algebraic foundations to real-world applications. If you're just interested in applying wavelets with a minimum of fuss, you may want another book. But if you want to really understand the theory behind them, this is the one for you.
