Introduction to Fourier Analysis

By Prof. Parasar Mohanty | IIT Kanpur

Learners enrolled: 416 | Exam registration: 10

ABOUT THE COURSE:
This course will cover the fundamental theory of Fourier series and Fourier integrals, as well as Fourier series for finite abelian groups. Some applications of Fourier series in differential equations, the isoperimetric problem, and number theory will be explored. Basic calculus and Riemann integrals will be required as prerequisites. The book “Introduction to Fourier Analysis” by E. Stein and R. Shakarchi will serve as the basis for this course.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Undergraduate

PREREQUISITES: Basic Calculus, Riemann Integration

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: This topic holds significant importance in mathematics and is considered a central theme that every mathematics student should be familiar with.

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Kanpur .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
