Course description and aims

 This course is a continuation of “Advanced Calculus I”. We first revisit the theory of Fourier series from a geometric view point. More concretely, we shall learn how Fourier series expansion can be viewed as expansion by an "orthonormal basis". Next, we learn the theory of Fourier transforms on the real line which is a variation of Fourier series for functions defined on the real line. This opens the way to a broader range of applications of the idea of Fourier analysis.
 The aim of the course is to learn the basics of the theory of Fourier transforms on the real line together with its applications to differential equations.

Student learning outcomes

1) To be able to explain geometric ideas behind Fourier series (inner products, orthonormal basis); to be able to understand and use Parseval's theorem.
2) Understand basic properties of Fourier transforms on the real line and to be able to compute several examples.
3) To be able to use the Fourier inversion formula and Plancherel's theorem.

Keywords

Orthonormal basis, Parseval's theorem, Fourier transform on the real line, Fourier inversion formula, Plancherel's theorem
