Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Participation in the seminars is mandatory.
Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the seminars actively and passed the control test.
Examination has a practical and a theoretical part. In the practical part student has to illustrate the given tasks on particular examples.
Theoretical part includes questions related to the subject-matter presented at the lectures.
Absence has to be made up by self-study using recommended literature.
Aims
The aim of the course is to familiarise students with basic topics and techniques of the Fourier analysis used in other mathematical subjects
Knowledge of basic topics of Fourier Analysis, manely, Fourier series, Fourier and Laplace transformations, and ability to apply this knowledge in practice.
