"On the one hand, the concept of wavelets can be viewed as a synthesis of ideas which originated during the last twenty or thirty years in engineering (subbing coding), physics (coherent states, renormalization group), and pure mathematics (study of Calderón-Zygmund operators). As a conseuqence of these interdiscplinary origins, wavelets appeal to scientists and engineers of many different backgrounds. On the other hand, wavelets are a fairly simple mathematical tool with a great variety of possible applications."
