Produktbeschreibung
If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is. -John von Neumann While this is a course in analysis, our approach departs from the beaten path in some ways. Firstly, we emphasize a variety of connections to themes from neighboring fields, such as wavelets, fractals and signals; topics typically not included in a gradu ate analysis course. This in turn entails excursions into domains with a probabilistic flavor. Yet the diverse parts of the book follow a common underlying thread, and to gether they constitute a good blend; each part in the mix naturally complements the other. In fact, there are now good reasons for taking a wider view of analysis, for ex ample the fact that several applied trends have come to interact in new and exciting ways with traditional mathematical analysis-as it was taught in graduate classes for generations. One consequence of these impulses from "outside" is that conventional boundaries between core disciplines in mathematics have become more blurred. Fortunately this branching out does not mean that students will need to start out with any different or additional prerequisites. In fact, the ideas involved in this book are intuitive, natural, many of them visual, and geometric. The required background is quite minimal and it does not go beyond what is typically required in most graduate programs.
Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"I find that the best texts ... are those drawn from lectures delivered to varied audiences over time. This is such a book ... . it also goes further than many to clear a pathway to success for the diligent reader. ... discusses the content of the recommended works and their specific topical relation to each chapter in concluding sections entitled 'References and remarks'. The additional remarks make all the difference. That form of presentation is why this text has excellent motivation throughout ... ."

(Tom Schulte, MathDL, February, 2007)

"In this book, an entry in Springer's Graduate Texts in Mathematics series, the author has made the effort to put enough material on probability theory, wavelets and frames, operators, Cuntz algebras, and the Perron-Frobenius theorem ... The illustrations, including graphs of wavelets and signal processing diagrams, are plentiful and illuminating. The multitude of topics in mathematics covered and the links between them that are described in this book mean that there is something for everyone."
