Math 414 - Fourier Analysis and Wavelets, Spring 1999 Instructor Al Boggess. Office in Bloc 623.
Wavelets are similar to sines and cosines in that they look like waves of various frequencies.
This localization feature of wavelets allows the user to filter or modify certain parts of the signal without affecting other parts. This course will present an overview of Fourier and Wavelet Analysis along with some applications. The goal of this course is to present the general ideas behind the construction of Fourier Series and Wavelets. The technical jargon of signal analysis and other fields of applications will be minimized. No prior knowledge of Fourier Series or Wavelets will be assumed.
