  • The first lecture will take place in GL-SB2 S21 on Monday, January 7. Instead of the text book, we will use the lecture notes (see below: SYLLABUS-Notes). But this is not an online course, motivation and necessary details, missing from the notes, are lectured. You are recommended to read section 4 "Appendix 1" part of notes before the lecture.
  • The first exercise session will take place in S21, 15th January, 16:15-17:00
  • Exercise for week 2 can be found at the end of the notes, week 3 exercise will be handed out on Thursday, 10th January.
  • Today (17th Jan) we finished section 1.6. The next lecture will be given by Helge Holden.
  • On Tuesday, we went through Exercise 2. Since we will not provide the solutions for the exercise. We encourage you to attend the Exercise session or hand in the exercise. Exercise for week 5 is "Exercise set 1", see section 6 of the notes.
  • There will be no Exercise Session on 22 Jan
  • There will be no Exercise Session on 29 Jan
  • Week 5 exercise has two parts and can be found in the notes now, solutions for Week 3 and 4 exercises will be presented on 5th Feb, 16:15-18:00, S21. There is an error in the last exercise for Week 4, sgn(x) should be -1 when x is negative
  • There will be no Exercise Session on 12 Feb
  • We will need some complex analysis results form the Exercise for week 6, please have a look if you haven't taken the complex analysis course.
  • Exercise set for week 7 is online now.
  • Exercise set for week 8 is online now.
  • Part 2 of the notes is online now. Next week (11-17 March) we will do central limit theorem, equidistribution theorem and random walks.
  • An errata for part 1 of the notes (also contains a list of errors in the weekly exercises).
  • The Exercise session for 26th March will by in Xu's office (942 S2), the same time.
  • Complete version of Part 2 of the notes is online now.
  • The final week will be repetition based on the exercises (No Exercise Session on 9 April)
  • A short summary of the course and solutions to several exercises

SYLLABUS-Notes

The curriculum is covered mainly by the lectures based on the following notes and everything handed out during the lectures.

1. part one

2. part two (renewed from time to time)

3. Errata

Recommend books

The Fourier analysis part of the notes is based on the following two books:

E. M. Stein & R. Shakarchi: Fourier Analysis, An Introduction, Princeton University Press, 2003
H. Dym & H. P. McKean: Fourier Series and Integrals, Academic Press, 1972

The wavelet part of the notes is based on the following book:

A. Boggess & F. Narcowich: A first course in Wavelets with Fourier Analysis, Wiley, 2nd Edition, 2009.

We also recommend the following standard textbook on Fourier analysis and wavelets:

Fourier Analysis and Applications, by G. Gasquet and P. Witomski, Springer.
