Wavelet Functions Mathematica package. I have written a package for you to use in class. You can also install it on your own computer.

Instructions for installing the Wavelet Functions package:

  1. Save the zip file (called package.zip) somewhere on your computer. Let's say you save it to C:\temp on your PC. Click here to get the package in WinZipped form.

  2. Unzip it using WinZip to C:\temp.

  3. In C:\temp you should have a folder called WaveletFunctions.

  4. Now open Mathematica. If you have administrative privileges on the computer and you want to install the package for all possible users, type the command $BaseDirectory. If you only want to install it for personal use, type the command $UserBaseDirectory. In each case you will be given a directory. For machines on the UST network the value of $UserBaseDirectory is
    C:\Documents and Settings\loginname\Application Data\Mathematica

  5. Now cut and paste the WaveletFunctions folder to the Applications folder that resides in either $BaseDirectory or $UserBaseDirectory.

  6. Go back to Mathematica, click on Help and select Rebuild Help Index.

  7. You may have to now close and re-open Mathematica. At the very least, you'll need to close and re-open the Help Browser. After you do this, if you go to the Help Browser under Help and click on Add-ons & Links, you should be able to scroll down and find WaveletFunctions. If you do, you are all set to use it!
