Lecture 1 | The Fourier Transforms and its Applications

Back


Lecture by Professor Brad Osgood for the Electrical Engineering course, The Fourier Transforms and its Applications (EE 261). Professor Osgood provides an overview of the course, then begins lecturing on Fourier series.

The Fourier transform is a tool for solving physical problems. In this course the emphasis is on relating the theoretical principles to solving practical engineering and science problems.

Fantastic job Dr. Osgood!! I would also like to thank Stanford University for putting these lectures online! VERY helpful!! :)

ihave jsut learned to do fourier analysis on occiloscope traces for my advanced higher project.

it's good fun

Professor Osgood manages to get his point across in a very clear way. When I was at secondary school (High school in the states) my technical engineering teacher was able to communicate basic physics and maths in a similar way. By referring to the real world.

My maths lecturers at University were never as good as Professor Osgood and never had that knack. It's not an easy thing to do.

guy has terrible handwriting. good material, though.

Though I m not gonna do it but i can think not to go uni for Fourier Lectures

I know you dont want to be bothered by the world, but where are the course notes that you speak of here. Just post it online and we'll leave you alone. - Signed The World

Doctor Osgood, that is EXACTLY what part of this videotaping is, competition with the Massachvsettes Institvte of Technology (sic). ;) Yale University also has 7 courses up on OpenCourseWare format AS WELL as of the time of this writing.

the chalk on the board is chafing my eardrums. otherwise, very well done.

This is a great complement to my studies of Fourier series/transforms in a course I'm taking.
