Corrections and updates to the book will be inserted on this web site as they appear.

p.11, line before (1.31): Replace "4D + 1" by "4D"

p.12, add line after (1.35): If F(f) = F(f(x)) denotes the Fourier transform of f, then the Fourier transform of translations and scalings of f is given by F(f(ax-b)) = e^{-itb/a}F(f(x))(t/a)/a

p.36, in the phrase "---entries of the big combined matrix U_A---" the "U" should be italic, as it is on page 37.

p. 37, line 6: period missing at end of sentence.

p.43, line 6. add: ---O(|t|^epsilon) as $t\to 0$ and ----- as $t\to\infinity$

p.55, first line: The right l^2 should be replaced by L^{2}(R)

p. 55, line 10: strike period, as sentence continues.

p. 73, Exercise 1-46 : The first interval in the definition of the set E is [-2Pi,-Pi>

p. 73, Exercise 1-46 : Change the parenthetical remark at the end of (e) to : (The wavelet defined by F is called the HervŽ wavelet. In solving this problem it is useful to use (2.3.2) - (2.3.6) in Section 2.3.)

p.80, last line: Replace "Corollary 2.4.11" by "Corollary 2.4.12 and in (6.4.36)"

p.94, add line after (2.2.27): for i = 1,...,N-1, j= 1,2,3,..., n in Z.

p.97, new line after (2.2.46): where f_{/fi} is defined by (2.2.26).

p.98, last line, and p99, first line: J and -J should be a superindex of U rather than a subindex (4 + 3 occurences)

p. 141, next last line of 2-18: replace 1 by z under the summation sign.

p.145, figure in (b): The eight symbols S here should be equipped with a hat as on p.56.
