Discourse on Fourier Series

by Cornelius Lanczos

Originally published in 1966, this well-written and still-cited text covers Fourier analysis, a foundation of science and engineering. Many modern textbooks are filled with specialized terms and equations that may be confusing, but this book uses a friendly, conversational tone to clarify the material and engage the reader. The author meticulously develops the topic and uses 161 problems integrated into the text to walk the student down the simplest path to a solution. Intended for students of engineering, physics, and mathematics at both advanced undergraduate and graduate levels. Foreword to the Classics Edition; Preface; Chapter 1: The Fourier Series; Chapter 2: The Fourier Series in Approximation Problems; Chapter 3: The Fourier Integral; Bibliography; Index.
