This book takes an in-depth look at abelian relations of codimension one webs in the complex analytic setting. Two main focuses of the book include how many abelian relations can a web carry and which webs are carrying the maximal possible number of abelian relations.

The text presents the birational classification of holomorphic foliations of surfaces. It discusses at length the theory developed by L.G. Mendes, M. McQuillan and the author to study foliations of surfaces in the spirit of the classification of complex algebraic surfaces.

The fundamental aspects of multiresolution representation, and its importance to function discretization and to the construction of wavelets is also discussed. Emphasis is given on ideas and intuition, avoiding the heavy computations which are usually involved in the study of wavelets.
