MTH 621: Introduction to Wavelets (4)
Pre-requisites (Desirable): MTH 311, MTH 404
Learning Objectives:
This is an introductory course on wavelet analysis. In this course we will introduce the basic notion of wavelets in different settings, namely for finite groups, discrete infinite groups and real line. This will provide the students an opportunity to know perspective applications of linear algebra and real analysis in mathematics and beyond.

Wavelets on Finite Group ZN: Convolution on ZN, Fourier Transform on ZN, Definition of Wavelets and Basic Properties, Construction of Wavelets on ZN.
Wavelets on Infinite Discrete Group Z : Definition and Basic Properties of Hilbert spaces, Complete orthonormal Sets in Hilbert Spaces, The spaces l2(Z) and L2([-π, π)), Basic Fourier Series, The Fourier Transform and Convolution on l2(Z) Wavelets on Z.
