Lectures on Fourier Integrals

work by Bochner
Also known as: ā€œVorlesungen über Fouriersche Integraleā€

Quick Summary

Salomon Bochner, a prominent mathematician, authored Lectures on Fourier Integrals in 1932, which was later translated into English in 1959. This work delves into Fourier analysis, also known as harmonic analysis. The Fourier transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function into its constituent frequencies. It is a type of integral transform, a mathematical operator that produces a new function by integrating the product of an existing function and a kernel function. Bochner applied his ideas from the 1930s to probability theory, as detailed in his 1956 book, Harmonic Analysis and the Theory of Probability.1234
