DESCRIPTION:
Excellent! This book makes great reading. There is a fair amount of (well written) high level mathematics, but also a number of sections of a more historical or narrative nature, and a wonderful sense of humor pervades the work. The account of the laying of the transatlantic cable in the nineteenth century and the technical problems associated with it is priceless. Several sections are devoted to the life of Fourier. There is also a companion volume entitled ``Exercises for Fourier analysis''.. Four Stars Ashish Sabharwal The book is great, but was somewhat damaged when received.. Possibly the most fun you can have reading a math book The author weaves together stories, application, and mathematics to give a fairly complete vision of Fourier analysis. All the mathematics is done without requiring measure theory, and the motivation is always in the forefront. My personal favorite parts are the on the building of the transatlantic cable and the example of outstanding statististical analysis. Make sure to purchase the exercises book, even if it is only for the jokes.
"an extraordinary and very attractive bookI would like to see the book on the desk of every pure mathematician with an interest in analysis, and of every teacher of applied mathematics whose work involves analysis." SIAM Review"This book is a delight because of the author's informal style (even the index is fun to read), his wide knowledge and skillful exposition, and his insights into many different topics (which come from problems in the real world)." The UMAP Journal"deserves to be widely readexperts will read it for enjoyment, non-experts for instruction" D.L. Salinger, Lond
These range from number theory, numerical analysis, control theory and statistics, to earth science, astronomy, and electrical engineering. The prerequisites are few (the reader with knowledge of second or third year undergraduate mathematics should have no difficulty following the text), and the style is lively and entertaining.. Each application is placed in perspective with a short essay. The author has provided a shop window for some of the ideas, techniques and elegant results of Fourier analysis, and for their applications
