What you'll learn:
- Learn about one of the single most important equations in all of modern technology and therefore human civilization.
- The fundamental concepts underlying the Fourier transform
- Sine waves, complex numbers, dot products, sampling theorem, aliasing, and more!
- Interpret the results of the Fourier transform
- Apply the Fourier transform in MATLAB and Python!
- Use the fast Fourier transform in signal processing applications
- Improve your MATLAB and/or Python programming skills
- Know the limitations of interpreting the Fourier transform.
The Fourier transform is one of the most important operations in signal processing and modern technology, and therefore in modern humancivilization.But how does it work, andwhy does it work?
What you will learn in this course:
You will learn the theoretical and computationalbases of the Fourier transform, with a strong focus on how the Fourier transform is used in modern applications in signal processing, data analysis, and image filtering. The course covers not only the basics, but also advanced topics including effects of non-stationarities, spectral resolution, normalization, filtering. All videos come with MATLAB and Python code for you to learn from and adapt!
This course is focused on implementations of the Fourier transform on computers, and applications in digitalsignal processing (1D)and imageprocessing (2D). I don't go into detail about setting up and solving integration problems to obtain analytical solutions. Thus, this course is more on the computer science/data science/engineering side of things, rather than on the pure mathematics/differential equations/infinite series side.
This course is for you if you are an aspiring orestablished:
Data scientist
Statistician
Computer scientist (MATLAB and/or Python)
Signal processing or image processing expert (or aspiring!)
Biologist
Engineer
Student
Curious independent learner!
What you get in this course:
>6 hours ofvideo lectures that include explanations, pictures, anddiagrams
pdf readers with important notes and explanations
Many exercises and their solutions!(Note:exercises are in the pdf readers)
MATLAB code, Python code, and sample datasets for applications
With >3000 lines of MATLAB and Pythoncode,this course is also a great wayto improve your programming skills, particularly in the context of signal processing and image processing.
Why Iam qualified to teach this course:
Ihave beenusingthe Fourier transform extensively in my research and teaching (primarily in MATLAB)for nearly two decades. Ihave written several textbooks about data analysis, programming, and statistics, that rely extensively on the Fourier transform. Most importantly:I have taught the Fourier transform to bachelor's students,PhD students, professors, and professionals, and Ihave taught topeople from many backgrounds, includingbiology, psychology, physics, mathematics, and engineering.
