This page contains a number of links to various topics. They are
organized into the following four subheadings:

Wavelets
Here are several links to various sites for papers and tutorials on
wavelets and their applications.

     Wim Swelden's webpage  This page contains a number of
     papers on wavelets by the creator of the "lifting" method.
     His papers on that method are highly recommended.

     Michael Unser's webpage  This page contains a number of
     papers on wavelets by a major contributor to biomedical
     and image processing applications.

     David Donoho's webpage  This page contains a number of
     papers on wavelets by one of the creators of the "wavelet shrinkage"
     signal denoising method.  His papers on that method are highly 
   recommended.  His latest work is on generalizations of wavelets,
     such as "ridgelets" and "curvelets."

     Richard Baraniuk's webpage  This page contains a number of
     papers on wavelets by one of the creators of the "Hidden Markov
   Tree" signal denoising method.  His papers on this method are
     highly recommended.

     Victor Wickerhauser's webpage  This page contains a number of
     papers on wavelets by the creator of the "best basis" method of
     signal approximation.  His papers on acoustic compression are highly
     recommended.

     Eero Simoncelli's webpage  This page contains a number of
     papers on wavelets in image processing.  He is one of the creators
     of the method of "steerable wavelets", which are very useful in
     image processing.

      Wavelet Digest  A free, electronic newsletter with the latest information
     on wavelets.  The best source for the latest developments in the field.

     Rice University DSP group   This page contains many excellent papers,
     software, and various links, on wavelets and signal processing, and
     on signal processing in general.

     Other links  A variety of links to wavelet info (part of the Wavelet Digest site).

Image Processing

    Sheila Hemami's webpage  This page contains a number of
     papers on wavelets in image processing.  Lots of interesting
     papers on relation between wavelets and human visual system,
     video coding, error correcting in image transmission, etc.

   processing, including new methods of image compression, and image
     enhancement.
  
      IEEE Image Processing  This page is maintained by the IEEE Journal for
   image processing, one of the top (if not the top) journals in the field.

      SPIE  This page is maintained by the SPIE organization, a top professional
     organization in the field of image processing.

Cognitive Science

    Donald Hoffman's webpage  This page contains a number of illustrations
     of our human visual pcrocessing.  Dr. Hoffman is the author of the
     excellent book Visual Intelligence.

     Stephen Grossberg's webpage  This page contains some excellent papers
     on the human visual system, and neural network modeling of attention
     and its relation to consciousness.

     Mark Turner's webpage  This page contains some excellent papers
     on metaphor and imagination, and their relation to human thinking.

     Metaphor Webpage  This page contains many links, articles, and software,
     relating to metaphors and artificial intelligence.

Mathematical Learning

     Hung-Hsi Wu's  webpage  This page contains many excellent papers on the
     mathematical reform (from one of its most cogent critics), and other
     thoughtful papers on mathematical learning.  Highly recommended.

     Anna Sfard's  webpage  This page contains many some excellent papers on 
     mathematical learning theory and critiques of the NCTM reform efforts.

     "Applications and Misapplications of Cog. Psychol. to Math. Ed."  A first-rate
     paper exposing the poverty of ideas in much of the current mathematics
     education reform.  Available for free downloading.  If you are concerned
     about the direction of the reform movement, then please read this paper.

     Herbert Wilf's  webpage on Math. Ed.  This page contains some interesting
     comments on the value (or lack thereof) of statistical research in math education.

       Mathematically Correct Website  This website contains a number of fascinating
     articles related to the debate on how to teach K-12 math (the so-called ``math wars'').

     "A Brief History of American K-12 Mathematics Education"  This paper contains some interesting
     history related to the debate on how to teach K-12 math.
