New edition of an introduction to Fourier transforms, invaluable to students in physics, electrical and electronic engineering, and computer science.
John James has held teaching positions at the University of Minnesota, Queen's University, Belfast and the University of Manchester. He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, a member of the Optical Society of America and of the International Astronomical Union. His research interests include the invention, design and construction of astronomical instruments and their use in astronomy, cosmology and upper-atmosphere physics.
From previous editions: '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
