The author has provided a shop window for some of the ideas, techniques and elegant results of Fourier analysis, and for their applications. These range from number theory, numerical analysis, control theory and statistics, to earth science, astronomy, and electrical engineering. Each application is placed in perspective with a short essay. 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.

Fourier analysis is an indispensable tool for physicists, engineers and mathematicians. A wide variety of the techniques and applications of fourier analysis are discussed in Dr. Körner's highly popular book, An Introduction to Fourier Analysis (1988). In this book, Dr. Körner has compiled a collection of exercises on Fourier analysis that will thoroughly test the reader's understanding of the subject. They are arranged chapter by chapter to correspond with An Introduction to Fourier Analysis, and for all who enjoyed that book, this companion volume will be an essential purchase.

Exercises in Fourier Analysis

How should one choose the best restaurant to eat in? Can one really make money at gambling? Or predict the future? Naive Decision Making presents the mathematical basis for making everyday decisions, which my often be based on very little or uncertain data. Professor Körner takes the reader on an enjoyable journey through many aspects of mathematical decision making, with relatable observations, anecdotes and quotations. Topics include probability, statistics, Arrow's theorem, Game Theory and Nash equilibrium. Readers will also gain a great deal of insight into mathematics in general and the role it can play within society. Suitable for those with elementary calculus, this book is ideal as a supplementary text for undergraduate courses in probability, game theory and decision making. Engaging and intriguing, it will also appeal to all those of a mathematical mind. To aid understanding, many exercises are included, with solutions available online.

In this engaging and readable book, Dr. Körner describes a variety of lively topics that continue to intrigue professional mathematicians. The topics range from the design of anchors and the Battle of the Atlantic to the outbreak of cholera in Victorian Soho. The author uses relatively simple terms and ideas, yet explains difficulties and avoids condescension. If you are a mathematician who wants to explain to others how you spend your working days, then seek inspiration here. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the uses of mathematics.

Product Description Fourier analysis is a subject that was born in physics but grew up in mathematics. Now it is part of the standard repertoire for mathematicians, physicists and engineers. This diversity of interest is often overlooked, but in this much-loved book, Tom Körner provides a shop window for some of the ideas, techniques and elegant results of Fourier analysis, and for their applications. These range from number theory, numerical analysis, control theory and statistics, to earth science, astronomy and electrical engineering. The prerequisites are few (a reader with knowledge of second- or third-year undergraduate mathematics should have no difficulty following the text), and the style is lively and entertaining. This edition of Körner's 1989 text includes a foreword written by Professor Terence Tao introducing it to a new generation of fans. Review ‘This is an extraordinary and very attractive book … I would like to see the book on the desk of every pure mathematician with an interest in classical analysis, and of every teacher of applied mathematics whose work involves analysis … This is how mathematics ideally should be presented, but too seldom is.’ R. P. Boas, SIAM Review'This is a wonderful book … More than anything, this is just fun to read, to browse, to study. … Fourier Analysis is literate, lively and a true classic. I highly recommend it.' William J. Satzer, MAA Reviews Book Description A lively and engaging look at some of the ideas, techniques and elegant results of Fourier analysis, and their applications. About the Author T. W. Körner is Emeritus Professor of Fourier Analysis at the University of Cambridge. His other books include The Pleasures of Counting (Cambridge, 1996) and Where Do Numbers Come From? (Cambridge, 2019).

Vectors, Pure and Applied: A General Introduction to Linear Algebra

Many books in linear algebra focus purely on getting students through exams, but this text explains both the how and the why of linear algebra and enables students to begin thinking like mathematicians. The author demonstrates how different topics (geometry, abstract algebra, numerical analysis, physics) make use of vectors in different ways and how these ways are connected, preparing students for further work in these areas. The book is packed with hundreds of exercises ranging from the routine to the challenging. Sketch solutions of the easier exercises are available online.
