A sweeping exploration of the development and far-reaching
applications of harmonic analysis such as signal processing,
digital music, Fourier optics, radio astronomy, crystallography,
medical imaging, spectroscopy, and more. Featuring a wealth of
illustrations, examples, and material not found in other harmonic
analysis books, this unique monograph skillfully blends together
historical narrative with scientific exposition to create a
comprehensive yet accessible work. While only an understanding of
calculus is required to appreciate it, there are more technical
sections that will charm even specialists in harmonic analysis.
From undergraduates to professional scientists, engineers, and
mathematicians, there is something for everyone here. The second
edition of The Evolution of Applied Harmonic Analysis contains a
new chapter on atmospheric physics and climate change, making it
more relevant for today's audience. Praise for the first edition:
"...can be thoroughly recommended to any reader who is curious
about the physical world and the intellectual underpinnings that
have lead to our expanding understanding of our physical
environment and to our halting steps to control it. Everyone who
uses instruments that are based on harmonic analysis will benefit
from the clear verbal descriptions that are supplied." - R.N.
Bracewell, Stanford University "The book under review is a unique
and splendid telling of the triumphs of the fast Fourier transform.
I can recommend it unconditionally... Elena Prestini... has taken
one major mathematical idea, that of Fourier analysis, and chased
down and described a half dozen varied areas in which Fourier
analysis and the FFT are now in place. Her book is much to be
applauded." - Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics "This
is not simply a book about mathematics, or even the history of
mathematics; it is a story about how the discipline has been
applied (to borrow Fourier's expression) to 'the public good and
the explanation of natural phenomena.' ... This book constitutes a
significant addition to the library of popular mathematical works,
and a valuable resource for students of mathematics." -
