For an input represented by a list of 2^n numbers, the Haar wavelet transform may be considered to simply pair up input values, storing the difference and passing the sum.
This formulation is based upon the use of recurrence relations to generate progressively finer discrete samplings of an implicit mother wavelet function, each resolution being twice that of the previous scale.

 Wavelets: Seeing the For... - An Idea with No Name
The first entrant in the wavelet derby was a Hungarian mathematician named Alfred Haar, who introduced in 1909 the functions that are now called “Haar wavelets.” These functions consist simply of a short positive pulse followed by a short negative pulse.
Although the short pulses of Haar wavelets are excellent for teaching wavelet theory, they are less useful for most applications because they yield jagged lines instead of smooth curves.
For example, an image reconstructed with Haar wavelets looks like a cheap calculator display, and a Haar wavelet reconstruction of the sound of a flute is too harsh.

 Short history of the Bolyai Institute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Haar discovered a special system of pairwise orthogonal functions (known as the Haar system today), and became a privatdozent (a person entitled to announce and deliver lectures at the university) of the university of Göttingen at the age of 24.
Riesz and Haar, with the help of their colleagues, succeeded in re-establishing the mathematical library by 1930.
The staff grew in the subsequent years: in 1926 István Lipka became assistant of Haar, in 1927 László Kalmár became assistant of Ortvay, the physicist (since 1924, Radó was the first assistant of Riesz).

The first entrant in the wavelet derby was a Hungarian mathematician named Alfred Haar, who introduced in 1909 the functions that are now called “Haar wavelets.” These functions consist simply of a short positive pulse followed by a short negative pulse.
The new wavelets were almost as simple to program and use as Haar wavelets, but they were smooth, without the jumps of Haar wavelets.
In fact, this whole procedure is the multiresolution version of the wavelet transform Haar discovered in 1909.

 The Hungary Page - More Famous Hungarians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Kolozsvár was no longer in Hungary after the Treaty of Trianon but rather it was in Romania and was renamed Cluj, so the Hungarian University there had to move within the new Hungarian borders and it moved to Szeged in 1920, where there had previously been no university.
Of course the Institute was named after the famous Hungarian mathematician whose birthplace was Kolozsvár, the town from which the university had just been forced to move after the French awarded Transylvania and the Banat to the Rumanians.
In 1932 he introduced a measure on groups, now called the Haar measure, used by von Neumann, and other notables.

 SURFING THE WAVELETS
In contrast to the Fourier transform, the wavelet transform allows exceptional localisation in both the time domain via translations of the mother wavelet, and in the scale (frequency) domain via dilations.
Haar's research led to the simplest of the orthogonal wavelets, a set of rectangular basis functions depicted in Figure 13.
The Haar basis function was of limited use due to it being discontinuous in nature.

In the Bolyai Institute of the Attila József University (Szeged) mathematical education and research started in 1921, when professors Frigyes Riesz and Alfréd Haar reorganized the Institute after the University of Kolozsvár, chartered in 1872, was relocated.
The two great mathematicians, Frigyes Riesz and Alfréd Haar were the founders of the mathematical school in Szeged.

 Wavelet Editorial
While wavelets have been traced all the way back to Alfred Haar in 1910 [1], for many, the starting point of their modern history coincides with two publications in the late 1980s by S. Mallat [2] and I. Daubechies [3].
These groundbreaking papers established a solid mathematical footing which would both shape and define the field.
