"Interview with Dr. Ingrid Daubechies." Interviewed in 2002 by Dorian Devins, National Academies of Sciences web site.

This is an hour-long interview, divided into six parts, in which mathematician Ingrid Daubechies talks about her early life, how she became interested in mathematics, her research in wavelets, and the work environment at Princeton University and Bell Labs. Daubechies expresses her belief that no matter how sophisticated the mathematics, it can be explained to non-mathematicians. The site uses RealOne Player.
