Fourier analysis is a mathematical technique for decomposing a signal into identifiable components. It is used in the study of all types of waves. This book explains the basic mathematical theory and some of the principal applications of Fourier analysis, in areas ranging from sound and vibration to optics and CAT scanning. The author provides in-depth coverage of the techniques and includes exercises that range from straightforward applications of formulas to more complex collections of problems. The text will be a valuable guide for courses in electrical engineering, applied mathematics, and signal processing.

The Ising model provides a detailed mathematical description of ferromagnetism and is widely used in statistical physics and condensed matter physics. In this Student's Guide, the author demystifies the mathematical framework of the Ising model and provides students with a clear understanding of both its physical significance, and how to apply it successfully in their calculations. Key topics related to the Ising model are covered, including exact solutions of both finite and infinite systems, series expansions about high and low temperatures, mean-field approximation methods, and renormalization-group calculations. The book also incorporates plots, figures, and tables to highlight the significance of the results. Designed as a supplementary resource for undergraduate and graduate students, each chapter includes a selection of exercises intended to reinforce and extend important concepts, and solutions are also available for all exercises.

Phase transitions take place when a substance changes from one physical state to another, and they are of fundamental importance in science and engineering with applications ranging from superconductivity to climate science. This Student's Guide coherently examines the underlying dynamics of phase transitions, beginning with a detailed description of phase diagrams and their graphical interpretation, before introducing the van der Waals equations of state. It progresses to more advanced topics such as mean-field theory in magnetic systems, phase transitions in binary mixtures, and other more exotic types of phase transitions in liquid crystals, superconductors, and superfluids. A separate chapter covers the unique and subtle phase transition dynamics of water. The book includes numerous worked examples and problems, with full solutions available online. It will be a valuable resource for students and lifelong learners in the physical sciences and engineering.

In the first edition of his seminal introduction to wavelets, James S. Walker informed us that the potential applications for wavelets were virtually unlimited. Since that time thousands of published papers have proven him true, while also necessitating the creation of a new edition of his bestselling primer. Updated and fully revised to include the latest developments, this second edition of A Primer on Wavelets and Their Scientific Applications guides readers through the main ideas of wavelet analysis in order to develop a thorough appreciation of wavelet applications.Ingeniously relying on elementary algebra and just a smidgen of calculus, Professor Walker demonstrates how the underlying ideas behind wavelet analysis can be applied to solve significant problems in audio and image processing, as well in biology and medicine. Nearly twice as long as the original, this new edition provides 104 worked examples and 222 exercises, constituting a veritable book of review material Two sections on biorthogonal wavelets A mini-course on image compression, including a tutorial on arithmetic compression Extensive material on image denoising, featuring a rarely covered technique for removing isolated, randomly positioned clutter Concise yet complete coverage of the fundamentals of time-frequency analysis, showcasing its application to audio denoising, and musical theory and synthesis An introduction to the multiresolution principle, a new mathematical concept in musical theory Expanded suggestions for research projects An enhanced list of references
