Fourier and Wavelet Analysis (Universitext)

Rating:
Summary: Great introduction, but clearly a first edition
Review: I'm just finishing a semester-long course which uses this book as an outline and as a source for homework questions. Anyone with basic knowledge of analysis will have no problem picking up this book and learning a great deal about Fourier decomposition and transformations, but there are a few problems with it. The questions at the end of each section don't always make it clear exactly what is to be answered and what is to be assumed. Also, there have been a few questions that neither I, my classmates, nor my professor could solve, which leads me to believe that there are fundamental problems with a few of the questions (I could be wrong though ;) ) Finally, the last chapter seems to use different notation for some things than is used in the rest of the book, so be alert. Overall, the clarity of the material outweighs these flaws and if you have any interest in REALLY understanding Fourier and Wavelet series, get this book.

Summary: Very good except for some errors
Review: The book is recomendable but it has got several errors. For example, the hint of the exercise 4.7 is not such "hint". Anymore found this or other errors?

Anyway, the exposition is clear and ordered and you will get a great insight on Fourier analyisis.

Summary: Fourier Analysis ... That's what it came from...
Review: This book is state of the art Fourier analysis. The book spproaches from the beginning of the theoretical functional analysis so that very nice to the novice. And very good for person who wants to get some great procedure of developing Fourier transform and other jewerys. Definitely, this is a little bit theoretical, but it provide unexpectedly proofs of common theorems. This is fantastic! P.S. Don't have to understand everything perfectly. If you read till the end, then nothing left not understood.
