5-0 out of 5 stars A dry classic
The book opens with a long preface and introduction in excellent 19th century style. Chapter 1 also gives the basic principles of heat, such as what we call "Newton's law of cooling" (sec. 3). From here we derive the heat equation (chapter 2, esp. §142). In chapter 3 we solve the heat equation for an infinite rectangle with given boundary conditions. This of course calls for the principles of Fourier analysis, which are explained in full generality (sec. 6). Then in chapters 4-8 we do the same thing for other bodies (rings, spheres, infinite cylinders, infinite rectangular prisms, cubes). In the case of cylinders, Fourier series are not appropriate to solve the corresponding heat equation in polar coordinates, so we must introduce Bessel functions. In chapter 9 we study the diffusion of heat in bodies with no boundary influence. The simplest example is the isolated, infinite line. This leads to Fourier integrals. Throughout, the theory is essentially identical to the modern one, except that Fourier couldn't care less about about convergence and such. It is understandable that Fourier wished to devote an entire book to the rudiments of Fourier analysis. I still think it's a pity that he didn't find it appropriate to include his favourite application: "The problem of the terrestrial temperatures presents one of the most beautiful applications of the theory of heat", he says (§12), but does not treat this problem further here. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Provides the necessary background for diffraction physics
I read this book thirty years ago in order to get up to speed on Fresnel diffraction and the Kirchhoff integral as discussed in John Cowley's seminal work "Diffraction Physics".Indeed, this book is recommended by Cowley as a necessary prerequisite.Goodman does a good job laying the groundwork for Fresnal diffraction, complete with a detailed exploration of the boundary conditions.After reading the first several chapters of this book, the reader should be ready to tackle Cowley.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Bible for Ultrasound Beamforming
This is probably my favorite text book of all time.Dr. Goodman's writing is excellent, providing heuristic insight into complex concepts using a very readable style.He is the Richard Feynman of optics.

And other than chapters specific to polarization, this book is entirely applicable to phased array ultrasound.For anyone whos works or studies in the ultrasound field, this book is a must, especially if you have an interest in acoustic beamforming.All the wave and Fourier concepts that apply to light also apply to ultrasound.

5-0 out of 5 stars Should be on every optiker's book shelf
I use this book all the time as a reference for Fourier optics.It has useful tables of common Fourier transforms found in optics work and far-field diffraction patterns worked out for popular beam profiles.

4-0 out of 5 stars Amazing, a textbook that's easy to understand!
I took a class in Fourier Optics and found this text to be indispensable.It explains everything very clearly and concisely, which is a minor miracle for a text at this level.I didn't have any particular background in optics, and was able to pick this up and understand every word.

I do agree with the earlier poster that more 'physical' or graphical representations of concepts would have been useful as I tend to be a visual learner.

5-0 out of 5 stars Simply the best
Only the best will do - and this is it.

Mandatory reading for anyone involved in optics.Goodman's books are treasure troves. ... Read more


3. Joseph Fourier, 1768-1830: A Survey of His Life and Work

list price: US$22.50
Isbn: 0262070413
Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review

Product Description
Beyond being the first substantial publication on Fourier, this work contains the text of Fourier's seminal paper of 1807 on the propagation of heat, marking the first time it has ever appeared in print. This paper incorporates many of the mathematical creations on which Fourier's fame rests, including derivation of the diffusion equation, the separation of the treatment of surface phenomena from internal phenomena, the use of boundary values and initial conditions, and the development of "Fourier series" and the so-called "Bessel functions."

When submitted to the examiners of the Institut de France, the originality of the paper and the surprising nature of some of its mathematical revelations caused great controversy, and it was denied publication both in 1807 and in later years. Fourier had the support, among the examiners, of Laplace and Monge, but Lagrange was adamantly in opposition, so that Fourier's work did not appear in print until 1822, reworked into book form.

Fourier's mathematical discoveries are intimately related to his interest in the solution of physical problems and their experimental verification. The mathematical methods he developed in connection with heat diffusion apply to physical situations far beyond the boundaries of this area. Generally, Fourier may be credited with one of the first major extensions of mathematical physics beyond the applications of Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation.

The opening biographical chapter of this book follows Fourier's career up to the submission of the 1807 paper, and the two closing chapters take up his life and work from that point on. Fourier had strong political motivations and spent much of his life in the public service. These chapters trace his political difficulties, both before and after 1807, when he was the prefect of a department of France and was subjected to the dislocations of Napoleon's ups and downs. These chapters also describe aspects of the turbulent but productive development of French science from the Revolution to 1830.

The core of the book presents the paper of 1807 in its original French and with the original notation. Grattan-Guinness has divided the paper into sections by the sequence of the problems taken up, and he introduces and, where necessary, closes each section with commentary relevant to Fourier's later work in these areas. The paper itself follows the chronology of Fourier's discoveries, and among the topics treated are, in this order: heat diffusion between disjoint bodies and in continuous bodies; the appearance of partial differential equations; the special solution for the lamina; sine and cosine series for an arbitrary function; reflections on the vibrating string problem; solution for the annulus; the full Fourier series for an arbitrary function; reflections on n-body analysis; solution for the sphere; solution for the cylinder; steady-state diffusion in the rectangular prism; time-dependent diffusion in the cube; and Fourier's experimental work. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars excellent book on Fourier analysis
This is my all time favorite books on Fourier analysis for engineers. Weaver worked at Livermore Labs
and this book is based on a course for the technical staff given there. I have seen all the classics
Bracewell, Papoulis, Oppenheim, Goodman, etc... and I think this book blows them vis-a-vis developing
an elementary presentation of this material(Fourier Series, Fourier Transform, DFT) in a readable and concise way.To boot, the book also really starts at the beginning (i.e., what is an angle, what are trig functions, what is the derivative of sine and cosine...) Applications of the theory to areas such as optics and vibrations are also stressed.Great technical book!

5-0 out of 5 stars "Applications..." yields amazing Clarity on Transforms
Mr. Weaver's "Applications ..." has saved me twice.Here's how:

I was warned by a graduating Electrical Engineering Senior to study Fourier Transforms before taking ECE-303, Signals and System theory.Quite simply, ECE-303 was the weeding course, because most students were struggling with the transforms while also trying to learn system theory.Fortunately, I heeded the senior's advice and picked up copy of "Applications ...".At the time, it was a bit much for my tight student budget, but it earned its keep.I read the book over the summer before the class.Because the book is so well written, I was able to digest it completely on my own.It has the greatest clarity I've seen on the topic.Having an Engineering disposition, I immediate consumed his explanations that tie things back to the "frequency content" view.I not only aced the class, but I really enjoyed it.It's what Engineering was about.

Here I am (fast forward 10 years) taking an Engineering Statistics class to get back into things.Low and behold, Weaver comes in again.In the advanced areas of studies in statistics I've picked up on references to the Fourier Transform in the topics of moments, moment generating functions, and the Central Limit Theorem.As it happens, Chapter 11, Stochastic Analyis covers this topic, and I've now got the concepts.Of course, I've had to re-read Chapter 3, The Fourier Transform, since it has been, after all, a great while since I applied them! ...

Product Description
The Fourier transform is one of the most important mathematicaltools in a wide variety of science and engineering fields. Itsapplication -- as Fourier analysis or harmonic analysis --provides useful decompositions of signals into fundamental(`primitive') components, giving shortcuts in the computation ofcomplicated sums and integrals, and often revealing hidden structurein the data. Fourier Transforms: An Introduction for Engineers develops thebasic definitions, properties and applications of Fourier analysis,the emphasis being on techniques for its application to linearsystems, although other applications are also considered. The bookwill serve as both a reference text and a teaching text for aone-quarter or one-semester course covering the application of Fourieranalysis to a wide variety of signals, including discrete time (orparameter), continuous time (or parameter), finite duration, andinfinite duration. It highlights the common aspects in all casesconsidered, thereby building an intuition from simple examples thatwill be useful in the more complicated examples where careful proofsare not included. Fourier Analysis: An Introduction for Engineers is written bytwo scholars who are recognized throughout the world as leaders inthis area, and provides a fresh look at one of the most importantmathematical and directly applicable concepts in nearly all fields ofscience and engineering.Audience: Engineers, especiallyelectrical engineers. The careful treatment of the fundamentalmathematical ideas makes the book suitable in all areas where Fourieranalysis finds applications. ... Read more

Chapters: Fourier Analysis, Fourier Transform, Fourier Series, Joseph Fourier. Excerpt:Fourier transforms In mathematics, Fourier analysis is a subject area which grew out of the study of Fourier series . The subject began with trying to understand when it was possible to represent general functions by sums of simpler trigonometric functions . The attempt to understand functions (or other objects) by breaking them into basic pieces that are easier to understand is one of the central themes in Fourier analysis. Fourier analysis is named after Joseph Fourier who showed that representing a function by a trigonometric series greatly simplified the study of heat propagation. Today the subject of Fourier analysis encompasses a vast spectrum of mathematics with parts that, at first glance, may appear quite different. In the sciences and engineering the process of decomposing a function into simpler pieces is often called an analysis . The corresponding operation of rebuilding the function from these pieces is known as synthesis . In this context the term Fourier synthesis describes the act of rebuilding and the term Fourier analysis describes the process of breaking the function into a sum of simpler pieces. In mathematics, the term Fourier analysis often refers to the study of both operations. In Fourier analysis, the term Fourier transform often refers to the process that decomposes a given function into the basic pieces. This process results in another function that describes how much of each basic piece are in the original function. However, the transform is often given a more specific name depending upon the domain and other properties of the function being transformed, as elaborated below. Moreover, the original concept of Fourier analysis has been extended over time to apply to more and... ... Read more
