Mathematics for Multimedia

This textbook presents the mathematics that is foundational to multimedia applications. Featuring a rigorous survey of selected results from algebra and analysis, the work examines tools used to create application software for multimedia signal processing and communication.§Key features include over 100 exercises with complete solutions; many sample programs in Standard C and illustrations based on data from real studies; suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter; and a companion website providing the computer programs described in the book as well as additional references and data files, such as images and sounds, to enhance the reader s understanding of key topics. Only undergraduate-level knowledge of mathematics and no previous knowledge of statistics are required.§Mathematics for Multimedia is an ideal textbook for upper undergraduate and beginning graduate students in computer science and mathematics who seek an innovative approach to rigorous, contemporary mathematics with practical applications. The work may also serve as an invaluable reference for multimedia applications developers and all those interested in the mathematics underlying multimedia design and implementation.
