Wavelets Through a Looking Glass: The World of the Spectrum vs Anschauliche Geometrie (German Edition)
Overall winner: Anschauliche Geometrie (German Edition)
Key Differences
Anschauliche Geometrie (Hilbert & Cohn‑Vossen) is a classic German geometry/topology text with a higher user rating (4.4 from 5 reviews) and broader tags in geometry and topology, making it better for readers seeking classical mathematical foundations. Wavelets Through a Looking Glass (Bratteli & Jorgensen) focuses on wavelets and spectrum with applied/numerical emphasis and slightly more reviews (7), and it sits in a lower price tier, so choose it if you need detailed applied analysis tying math to computer science
