Gilbert Strang
Department of Mathematics,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Björn Jawerth
Department of Mathematics,
University of South Carolina, Columbia
has developed a new course at MIT on Wavelets and Filter Banks. He is SIAM's Vice-President for Education. He is the author of textbooks on linear algebra, and applied mathematics, and calculus. The course and also the workshops on wavelets are leading to a new text.
Björn Jawerth
has been involved in wavelet research for a number of years. His interests are both in the theoretical development of wavelets as well as their applications to numerical methods for partial differential equations, surface modeling and data compression. He is also Chief Technology Officer of Summus, Ltd., a company focusing on developing wavelet based products and algorithms.
