Class Description: This is a basic course on the representation and approximation of arbitrary functions as infinite linear combinations of simple functions, and of the applications of this idea in the physical and engineering sciences. Topics include: Orthonormal functions, best approximation in the mean, Fourier series, convergence pointwise and in the mean. Applications to boundary value problems, Sturm-Liouville equations, eigenfunctions, Fourier transform and applications. As time permits: Complex Fourier series and Fourier transform, FFT, Gibbs phenomena, Caesaro sums.
Policies:
Content and Style: Will cover most of Chapters 1-8. Homework
assignments from the textbook, and from my own notes. The theory
will predominate, but there will be considerable attention to
applications in other fields. Notes, homework assignments, examples,
practice exams, etc., will be posted online as the course develops.
Student Conduct: Statement on Scholastic Conduct: Each
student should read the college bulletin for the definitions and
possible
penalties for scholastic dishonesty. Students
suspected of cheating will be reported to the Scholastic Conduct
Committee.
