MATH 416 (Applied Harmonic Analysis: An Introduction to Signal Processing)


DESCRIPTION The goal of this course is to introduce the students to the modern mathematical techniques which are applied in signal processing and which are used in a variety of areas, ranging from engineering to medicine and finance. Topics include: Applied Linear Algebra, Fourier Series, Discrete Fourier Transform, Fourier Transform, Shannon Sampling Theorem, Wavelet Bases, Multiresolution Analysis, and Discrete Wavelet Transform. Emphasis will be placed upon mathematical foundations of applicable algorithms, as well as on the ability to implement these algorithms.
PREREQUISITES MATH 141; MATH 240; or permission of instructor. Familiarity with MATLAB is also required.
TOPICS Background Material: Numbers and Computer Arithmetic, Vector Spaces and Linear Transformations; Fourier Series; Discrete Fourier Transform; Sampling; Quantization; Precision and Accuracy; Wavelet Bases; Discrete Wavelet Transform; Applications to Coding, Detection, and Compression.
