Fourier and signal analysis: academic year 2005-2006

This is a reading course in the programs master of mathematics and master of mathematical physics of the University of Amsterdam.

Sessions

The first introductory meeting was on Tuesday February 14, 2006, 16.00-17.00 hour, room P015A, Euclides building.
Next sessions will also be on Tuesday, 16.00-17.00 hour, room to be announced, tentatively P015A.
The session of 18 April will start at 15.30 hour, with presentations by two students on Heisenberg's inequality and on the Discrete and Fast Fourier Transform.

Lecturer:   T.H. Koornwinder

Literature

Mathematica Notebooks

Examination
The final mark will be based for 50% on submitted exercises (possibly combined with an oral examination about a part of the material on wavelets) and for 50% on the written and oral presentation of a final project.
