Fourier Series and Transforms, a software and text package, complements standard textbooks and lecture courses by providing a solid overview of the topic. The software provides more extensive illustrations than a conventional text with interactive programs that have been designed to be open to modifications. The emphasis on qualitative aspects and flexibility with regard to program modification make the package useful to a wide range of students. The book assumes some mathematical expertise as well as basic computer language knowledge.
Sampling and resolution. Periodic functions, harmonics and Fourier series. Fourier transforms.
Robert Hording read mathematics at St John's College. Cambridge, and went on to complete his PhD in plasma physics. Before doing so, he become involved with the CATAM project (Computer-Aided Teaching of Mathematics) which was being started by the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, at Cambridge. His strong interest in the use of a computational approach in learning mathematics resulted in his appointment, in 1971, as Senior Assistant in Research at DAMTP with responsibility for managing and researching the CATAM project. In 1975 he became Assistant Director of Research.
