Subject: New Book, Wavelets and Filter Banks
WAVELETS AND FILTER BANKS Gilbert Strang and Truong Nguyen
Publication 1/96 by Wellesley-Cambridge Press
This new textbook by Gilbert Strang and Truong Nguyen offers a clear and
easy-to-understand introduction to two central ideas -- filter banks for
discrete signals, and wavelets. The connections are fully explained -- the
wavelet is determined by a choice of filter coefficients. All important
wavelet properties (orthogonality or biorthogonality, symmetry, accuracy
of approximation, and smoothness) come from specific properties of the
filters. The text shows how to construct those filters and wavelets.
We emphasize the usefulness of linear algebra.
The applications are very widespread -- and they continue to develop rapidly.
The book gives a direct approach to signal processing and image processing
through filter banks that iterate on the lowpass filter (this is the wavelet
idea). Blocking and ringing artifacts are analyzed, along with many MATLAB
applications. Wavelets and Filter Banks is written for the very broad
audience that uses these ideas:
Digital Signal Processing and Speech Processing
Image Processing including Medical Imaging
Scientific and Engineering Applications
Students and Professionals (wanting to understand wavelets!)
Please write to gs@math.mit.edu for the Table of Contents and for
information about ordering by email.
The Table of Contents and Guide to the Book are also in our homepage:

This book is the course text for the Tampa wavelet workshop, January 13-15.
For more information abourt the workshop, please send the message Workshop

The book is also closely linked with the Wavelet Toolbox for MATLAB that
MathWorks will announce in early 1996.

Subject: ATLAST Linear Algebra Workshops
ATLAST 1996 Linear Algebra Workshops
ATLAST is an NSF Project to Augment the Teaching of Linear Algebra
through the use of Software Tools. The project will offer two
faculty workshops on the use of software in teaching linear algebra
during the summer of 1996.
Workshop participants will learn about existing software for linear
algebra and will be trained in the use of the MATLAB software package.
Attendees will design classroom lessons that incorporate computer
software making use of ATLAST materials that were developed in previous
workshops. These materials will be included in the forthcoming "ATLAST
Book of Computer Exercises" (Prentice-Hall, Fall, 1996). Participants will
also learn to design computer exercises and lab projects for inclusion
in the ATLAST database and possible inclusion in future editions of the
ATLAST book.
The ATLAST Project provides room and board for participants attending
the workshops.
The project was conceived by the Education Committee of the International
Linear Algebra Society (ILAS). Steven J. Leon of the ILAS Education
Committee is serving as the ATLAST Project Director and the Assistant
Director is Richard Faulkenberry. Both are in the Mathematics Department
of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. The ATLAST project is
funded by a National Science Foundation Faculty Enhancement grant.
This is the fifth year of ATLAST workshops. Over 350 faculty members
have participated in the twelve workshops given during the summers of
1992, '93, and '95. A number of these participants were invited to attend
an advanced workshop in 1994. A second advanced workshop is now being
planned. Workshop evaluations and follow-up surveys clearly show that the
ATLAST program has been a rousing success. We are confident that the
'96 workshops will be equally well received.
Summer 1996 ATLAST Workshops
Workshop site: Salve Regina University, Newport, Rhode Island
Workshop dates: June 12--15, 1996
Workshop Presenter: Dr. Steven Leon, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
Workshop site: University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at the University of Illinois
Scalable Pseudorandom Number Generator Library
We would like to invite outstanding candidates to apply for a
post-doctoral position available at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. We are looking for a Computer Science or
Computational Physics PhD to participate in an ARPA funded project
related to parallel pseudorandom number generation. Pseudorandom
number generators are the foundation of stochastic methods used for a
wide variety of problems in natural and social sciences, industry,
financial services, the military, etc. The aim is the development,
parallelization and testing of a pseudorandom number generator
library, with particular attention to both portability and scalability
across parallel architectures. In addition, a set of utilities for
efficient polynomial computations is to be developed. A knowledge of
C is necessary, experience with parallel computing (e.g. MPI or PVM)
is desirable and familiarity with stochastic simulations would be a
plus. The project involves an interdisciplinary team of researchers
from the Dept. of Physics UIUC, the Institute for Defense Analyses,
the Dept. of Computer Science UIUC, and NCSA. The Urbana-Champaign
campus is a vibrant research environment and for a self-motivated
individual this project will be an excellent opportunity for
intellectual growth. The project will last for 2 years.
Applicants should send a CV, a list of publications and the names of
at least three references to Prof Faisal Saied, saied@cs.uiuc.edu,
Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign, 1304 W Springfield Ave, Urbana, IL 61801.
