D'oh! Fourier: Theory, Applications, And Derivatives

Book excerpt: D'oh! Fourier introduces the Fourier transform and is aimed at undergraduates in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Applied Sciences, as well as for those wishing to extend their education. Formulated around ten key points, this accessible book is light-hearted and illustrative, with many applications. The basis and deployment of the Fourier transform are covered applying real-world examples throughout inductively rather than the theoretical approach deductively.The key components of the textbook are continuous signals analysis, discrete signals analysis, image processing, applications of Fourier analysis, together with the origin and nature of the transform itself. D'oh! Fourier is reproducible via MATLAB/Octave and is supported by a comprehensive website which provides the code contained within the book.
