Calendar

The course grade is based primarily on the class project (presentation + final report). Approximate breakdown: Project: 90%, Homework: 10%.

READINGS refer to the Text: Strang and Nguyen. Wavelets and Filter Banks. Wellesley-Cambridge Press, 1997.

LECTURE NOTES: Slides open as color slides in a pdf document. Handouts open as black-and-white slides in a pdf document. To view the lecture slides properly, you might need special fonts. If this happens, please refer to the handouts instead, which have all the fonts embedded in them and can be viewed or printed as-is.
