Mini Course: Fourier Transforms
Mini Course: Fourier Transforms will go over the theory and diverse applications of the most famous mathematical transformation.
Fourier transforms have a very wide range of application all over science. Furthermore, thanks to the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm it is very efficient to implement. Completely worth getting familiar with, in my opinion.
Target audience
This course is suitable for people with a vague knowledge of what a Fourier transform is and wish to deepen that knowledge. Minimal knowledge of Python is a plus but not required.
Teachers
The teachers will be Muhammad Hasan and Lewis Ruks (PhD Students).
Program of the second Edition (August 2021)
The course will take place over two sessions detailed below. There will be some hands-on work using Python via Jupyter Notebooks.
| Date | Time | Topic | Teacher |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monday, August 30 | 3PM - 5PM |
Introduction to Fourier Transforms
