Abstract
This chapter explains the nature of the simplest wavelets and an algorithm to compute a fast wavelet transform. Such wavelets have been called “Haar’s wavelets” since Haar’s publication in 1910 (reference [19] in the bibliography). To analyze and synthesize a signal—which can be any array of data—in terms of simple wavelets, this chapter employs shifts and dilations of mathematical functions, but does not involve either calculus or linear algebra.
