| Summary | This is a course in the rigorous treatment of Fourier series and related topics. |
| Course description |
- Fourier series, fourier coefficients, trigonometric polynomials and orthogonality.
- Properties of fourier coefficients; Bessel¿s inequality, Parseval's identity and the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma.
- Various notions of convergence of Fourier series, including pointwise, uniform and mean square convergence. Summability methods, convolution and Young's inequality.
- Fourier Analysis in broader contexts; for example, fourier integrals, fourier expansions in groups, Schwartz spaces and tempered distributions.
