Fourier analysis, fall 2016

 

Teacher: Eero Saksman 

Scope: 10 cr

Type: Advanced studies

Teaching: (FIRST LECTURE IS ON MONDAY 12.9 !)Lectures on weeks 37-41 and 44-50, in room C123, on Mondays, 10-12, Tuesdays 12-14  and on Wednesdays 9-12.

Topics: The course is an introduction to modern Fourier Analysis. Fourier analysis is a basic tool both in pure and applied mathematics, from PDE's and harmonic analysis to stochastics, signal processing, physics,...

The first part of the course, roughly weeks 36-42, covers discrete Fourier analysis (Fourier series and also Fast Fourier transform), while the second period, weeks 44-50, studies the continuous Fourier analysis, i.e. Fourier transforms of functions and (Schwartz) distributions in Rn. Throughout the course, and time allowing, many of the applications of Fourier analysis are discussed.

 Prerequisites: Basic knowledge on measure theory and Lebesgue integration (e.g. the course "Mitta ja integraali") is required. Knowledge of basics of Lp-spaces will be advantageous (e.g. as discussed in the course Reaalianalyysi I; see below). In addition some facts from functional analysis will be used - if necessary, these can be briefly discussed during the course (especially, one does not assume the course in functional analysis)
