MATH30350 Fourier Analysis

Academic Year 2021/2022

This course builds on theory covered in earlier modules in Mathematical Analysis to give a self-contained introduction of the theory of Fourier series and Fourier transforms of Riemann integrable functions.

We will cover topics chosen, in the first instance, from:

(1) Pointwise and uniform convergence of sequences and series of functions, including the Weierstrass M-test;

(2) Properties of the Riemann integral;

(3) Fourier series of Riemann integrable functions on the circle;

(4) Fourier transforms of absolutely integrable continuous functions on the real line.

Additional topics and applications may be included, as time allows.
