Fourier Analysis: Discrete Series & Transform

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on resources for learning Fourier analysis, specifically focusing on discrete series and transforms, which are crucial for wave-related projects. Participants recommend Körner's classic text as a foundational resource, while also emphasizing the need for downloadable internet sources, particularly in PDF format. Additionally, a collection of eight books on Fourier analysis is shared, with some available in DjVu format, along with links to video tutorials on the subject.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of linear algebra
  • Familiarity with trigonometry
  • Knowledge of Fourier series concepts
  • Ability to use PDF and DjVu file formats
NEXT STEPS
  • Research downloadable PDF resources on Fourier analysis
  • Explore Körner's textbook for foundational knowledge
  • Learn about the applications of Fourier transforms in wave analysis
  • Investigate video tutorials on Fourier analysis for visual learning
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students, educators, and researchers in mathematics and engineering, particularly those focusing on wave phenomena and Fourier analysis techniques.

Hello all,

I'm looking for a good textbook, tutorial or anything like that about Fourier analysis: the discrete series and the Transform (very important - for a project about waves). I don't know a lot about Fourier analysis, so this textbook should start quite from the beginning. What I do know pretty well that might be relevant is linear algebra and (obviously) trigonometry.

Thank you very much for your help! :-)

The classic text I believe is Körner. But it is an analysis text.
 
Actually I meant internet sources, preferably ones that I can download to my computer, like PDF files.
 
Please? It's important to me...
 
Hope this helps.

Here are 8 books on Fourier analysis. Some are in DjVu format. To view those files, download DjVu reader.

Here are some http://video.google.com/videosearch?num=10&so=0&hl=en&q=fourier+analysis+duration%3Along&start=0 on Fourier analysis as well.
