Course content
The course is intended to give the students a thorough introduction to Fourier analysis. Topics that are covered are: Fourier series and Fourier integrals; pointwise, uniform, and mean convergence of Fourier series; approximation kernels; Parseval's identity and Bessel's inequality; Plancherel's identity; the Schwartz space, convolutions, the Poisson summation formula, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, selected applications in mathematics (for example partial differential equations and number theory) and in technology (for example signal processing). Topics that may be included in the course: Fourier transforms of distributions, discrete Fourier transforms, Fast Fourier Transform, filter theory, wavelets.
Learning outcome
1. Knowledge. The student has a knowledge of concepts and methods from Fourier analysis, as specified under "academic content".
2. Skills. The student is able to apply his or her knowledge of Fourier analysis to solve mathematical and technological problems.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises.
Further on evaluation
Retake of examination may be given as an oral examination. The retake exam is in August. Students are free to choose Norwegian or English for written assessments.
Recommended previous knowledge
The course is based on TMA4100/05/10/15/20 Calculus 1/2/3/4K, or equivalent. It is an advantage to have TMA4145 Linear Methods. For students who have their background from Mathematical sciences: MA1101 Calculus I, MA1201 Linear Algebra and Geometry.
