difference.

References

The required textbook is self-sufficient for this course.

However for those who want to go beyond and learn the subject

at a more advanced and sophisticated level, the following

may be recommended.

 

·         R. Bracewell. The Fourier Transform and Its Applications, third

edition. McGraw-Hill, 1999.

 

This book provides an excellent and elegant

alternative exposition of the subject. The way the subjects are

introduced is very different and therefore provides a complementary

perspective. If you wish to study one additional book, this is it.

 

·         A. Papoulis. Signal Analysis. McGraw-Hill, 1977.

 

Contains information, topics, and results not found in many elementary books.

Useful to know what is in there for future reference.

 

·         A. Papoulis. Systems and Transforms With Applications in Optics.

Krieger Publishing, 1981.

 

Contains information, topics, and results not

found in many elementary books. Applications to optical systems.

 

·         H. Dym and H. P. McKean. Fourier Series and Integrals. Academic Press, 1972.

 

Rigorous mathematical approach softened by an appeal to physical

interpretation and applications. A good balance for engineers or physicists

who want to be more precise than is usual (for them). Fourier integrals

and series are treated with equal weight. Hermite-Gauss functions,

uncertainty relations, multidimensional transforms, and the Radon transform

are particularly well discussed. In addition to many miscellaneous

applications, the diffusion and wave equations are given considerable

attention. Later chapters deal with the relation to complex function theory

and group theory.

Very old book worth looking at for historical perspective.
