Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is used for processing sounds and graphics in digital computers. This lecture aims at being
able to do Fourier series expansion, which forms the basis for DFT. As an introduction to Fourier series expansion we illustrate
the least-square method and the orthogonal function expansion. Fourier series expansion is an instance of the orthogonal function
expansion. Understanding Fourier series expansion forms the basis for understanding Fourier transform and DFT, which are also
explained.
By learning the least-square method, the orthogonal function expansion, Fourier series expansion, Fourier transform, and discrete
Fourier transform, we acquire the basis for processing signals like sounds and images.
- Understanding the least-square method and being able to approximate given sequences of data or functions by linear functions or quadratic functions
- Understanding orthogonal functions and being able to do the orthogonal function expansion for given functions by some given set of orthogonal functions
- Understanding Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation, which is a method (algorithm) for orthogonalising a set of vectors in an inner product space, and being able to construct an orthogonal set of functions from a given set of functions.
- Being able to do Fourier series expansion, which is an important instance of the orthogonal function expansion.
- Being able to do Fourier transform and discrete Fourier transform for simple examples.

Mid-term exam is evaluated on a 40-point scale, final exam a 50-point, and reports a 10-point. When the mid-term exam is M
point, the final exam F point, and the repots R point, the overall score is R+M+F*(100-(R+M))/50.
If you can solve basic problems about least square method, Fourier series expansion, and Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, you are in the level of obtaining 60-point.
