Abstract: Over three centuries, the approximation of functions by linear 
superposition has evolved from polynomials to wavelet Fourier series.  
We will survey some of these methods and examine how desirable features 
beyond ease of computation have been introduced. We will see how Haar 
and Daubechies developed special bases with prescribed features that 
could be adapted to particular approximation problems. Some applications 
include image compression and de-noising./
