 AJ  Jerri is most recognized for his contributions to Shannon Sampling  Theory, It's Generalizations, Error Analysis, and Historical Reviews,  and in particular his establishment in 2002 of the journal Sampling  Theory in Signal and Image Processing (STSIP-ISSN 1530-6429) with over  thirty top international experts as its editors, besides establishing  its Sampling Publishing, also his contribution to the general  understanding of the Gibbs Phenomenon, where he wrote the first book  ever on the subject, published by Springer-Verlag, then he followed it  by editing another book on Advances in Gibbs Phenomenon published by  Sampling Publishing. 

Dr.  Abdul Jabbar Jerri, born July 20, 1932 in Maimouna, Iraq. Jerri is a  Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Clarkson University, Potsdam, New  York, 13677 and is currently residing in Raleigh, NC. Dr. Jerri is the  author of numerous books and publications in mathematics, including:  Integral Equations, Integral and Discrete Transforms, The Gibbs  Phenomenon, Difference Equations, and Wavelets. Jerri has published a  number of papers close to the subjects of his books, notably, his well  received tutorial on Shannon Sampling Theory published by invitation by  the IEEE in 1977. He is recognized in the area of Shannon Sampling  Theorem, and is the founding executive editor of the journal, Sampling  Theory in Signal and Image Processing (STSIP - website: www.stsip.org ), which is in its 13th year and in very good standing.

Dr.  Jerri’s fruitful career includes visiting positions at the American  University in Cairo, establishing the study programs in Mathematics and  Computer Science (1972-74), and at Kuwait University (1979-80), as  Director of the Mathematics Study Program. He is a double-awarded  Fulbright Scholar for the Projects of Lecturing Integral & Discrete  Transforms, Integral & Difference Equations, Methods of Applied  Math, and Sampling Theory, at the Sultan Qaboos University in Muscat,  Oman in 1997, followed by Yarmouk University in Irbid, Jordan in 2001.  To date, Dr. Jerri remains highly active in the industry; as Founding  Executive Editor of Sampling Theory in Signal and Image Processing - An  International Journal, and the Executive Editor of Sampling Publishing.

Jerri has authored several influential books that have been widely used in academia.  Many of Jerri's books can be found on Amazon, providing valuable resources for students and researchers worldwide:

1. Introduction to Integral Equations with Applications: A comprehensive guide      accompanied by a Student's Solution Manual, providing detailed      explanations and practical applications of integral equation.
2. Integral and Discrete Transforms with Applications and Error Analysis: This book delves into various transform methods and their applications, along with thorough error analysis techniques.
3. Linear Difference Equations with Discrete Transform Methods     (Springer-Verlag): A detailed exploration of linear difference equations and discrete transform methods, offering valuable insights for both students and researchers.
4. Introduction to  Wavelets: Co-authored with Prof. Masaru Kamada, this book includes a      Student's Solution Manual and provides an in-depth introduction to wavelet      theory and applications.

In addition to these books, he has published over forty research papers in esteemed journals and delivered numerous lectures at national and international conferences. His publications have played a crucial role in advancing understanding in various fields of mathematics.
