Wavelets and Applications: A Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Course with an Emphasis on Scientific Computing

Patrick Van Fleet, Catherine Beneteau
June 2 - 5, 2009
University of South Florida
Tampa, FL

Primary funding provided by the Division of Undergraduate Education at the National Science Foundation (DUE-0717662).

Registration Fee:
$350 per person

As a special offer, all registrations for this workshop will now be charged at the early registration rate of $350.

Description:
After introducing participants to the discrete wavelet transformation, we will illustrate the usefulness of this technique in real-world applications, such as image compression and de-noising. We will explore why this topic makes an exciting and valuable mathematical applications course early in the undergraduate curriculum. Participants will also receive innovative software and lecture materials that can be used to offer such a course at their home institution.
