An Introduction to Fourier Analysis
Om den här e-boken
This introductory textbook was written with mathematics, science, and engineering students with a background in calculus and basic linear algebra in mind. It can be used as a textbook for undergraduate courses in Fourier analysis or applied mathematics, which cover Fourier series, orthogonal functions, Fourier and Laplace transforms, and an introduction to complex variables. These topics are tied together by the application of the spectral analysis of analog and discrete signals, and provide an introduction to the discrete Fourier transform. A number of examples and exercises are provided including implementations of Maple, MATLAB, and Python for computing series expansions and transforms.
After reading this book, students will be familiar with:
• Convergence and summation of infinite series
• Representation of functions by infinite series
• Trigonometric and Generalized Fourier series
• Legendre, Bessel, gamma, and delta functions
• Complex numbers and functions
• Analytic functions and integration in the complex plane
• Fourier and Laplace transforms.
• The relationship between analog and digital signals
