Abstract
Wavelet applications to date have been dominated by signal and image processing. While perhaps not immediately appealing as a means of solving differential equations, the growing body of literature in this area indicates that wavelets have a role to play here, too. We give here some of the basic background and an example illustrating how wavelets can be used to solve differential equations.
