Multiscale computing (MSC) involves the computation,
manipulation and analysis of information at different resolution
levels. Widespread use of MSC algorithms and the discovery
of important relationships between different
approaches to implementation were catalyzed, in part, by the
recent interest in wavelets. We present two examples which
demonstrate how MSC can help scientists understand complex data.
The first is from acoustical signal processing and the second
from computer graphics.
