A Student's Guide to Fourier Transforms by J F James
Fourier transform theory is of central importance in a vast range of applications in physical science, engineering, and applied mathematics. This new edition of a successful student text provides a concise introduction to the theory and practice of Fourier transforms, using qualitative arguments wherever possible and avoiding unnecessary mathematics. After a brief description of the basic ideas and theorems, the power of the technique is then illustrated by referring to particular applications in optics, spectroscopy, electronics and telecommunications. The rarely discussed but important field of multi-dimensional Fourier theory is covered, including a description of computer-aided tomography (CAT-scanning). The final chapter discusses digital methods, with particular attention to the fast Fourier transform. Throughout, discussion of these applications is reinforced by the inclusion of worked examples. The book assumes no previous knowledge of the subject, and will be invaluable to students of physics, electrical and electronic engineering, and computer science.
From reviews of the first edition: '… elegantly simple' New Scientist
'It is the wide range of topics that makes this book so appealing … I highly recommend this book for the advanced student … Even the expert who wants a deeper appreciation of the Fourier transform will find the book useful.' Computers in Physics
'… this is an excellent book to initiate students who possess a reasonable mathematical background to the use of Fourier transforms …' Microscopy and Analysis
