Description
A short introductory book, examining Fourier series which is seen as indispensable in describing periodic phenomena to various degrees of approximation. Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier, who gave his name to the series taught at France's foremost school of engineering and was Governor of Lower Egypt and had various administrative positions in France, both under Napoleon and under the Bourbons. The ideas are introduced slowly with the aid of a large number of worked examples and is aimed at students in engineering, physics and chemistry. This book is based on a lecture course in the Department of Engineering at Oxford taught by the author. Solymar is the co-author of "Lectures on Electromagnetic Theory" (1983) and "Lectures on the Electrical Properties of Materials 4/e" (1988). He has also written a "Solutions Manual" (1988) to accompany the latter book.
