Description
A Student's Guide to Fourier Transforms With Applications in Physics and Engineering by J. F. James provides a concise introduction to the theory and practice of Fourier transforms, essential for students of physics, electrical and electronic engineering, and computer science.
The book explores the applications of Fourier transform theory across various fields, including optics, spectroscopy, electronics, and telecommunications, as well as the less commonly discussed area of multi-dimensional Fourier theory. This includes a detailed explanation of Computer Axial Tomography (CAT scanning).
This new edition has been revised to include additional material, such as convolution with a sinusoid, coherence, and the Michelson stellar interferometer, making it an invaluable resource for students looking to understand the power and applications of Fourier transforms.
