5.0 out of 5 stars
Nice guide for students and newcomers., July 5, 2000
This review is from: A Panorama of Harmonic Analysis (Carus Mathematical Monographs) (Hardcover)
This book is not a textbook on harmonic analysis; it is an essay on how this important discipline has evolved and what are its main results and applications.
I find this book to be an excellent companion text because it includes a lot of subtle explanations that the usual textbooks lack. It is suitable also for non-mathematicians willing to get a fast introductory survey of the theory.
Its contents are: Overview of Measure Theory and Functional Analysis; Fourier Series Basics; The Fourier Transform; Multiple Fourier Series; Spherical Harmonics; Fractional Integrals, Singular Integrals, and Hardy Spaces; Modern Theories of Integral Operators; Wavelets; A Retrospective; 9 appendices.
Full of interesting comments and historical anecdotes. Extensive Bibliography.
Please take a look at the rest of my reviews.

hackneyed, September 15, 2007
This review is from: A Panorama of Harmonic Analysis (Carus Mathematical Monographs) (Hardcover)
Outside of regurgitating timeworn examples
the author does not appear to have any direction
for the text. Save your money.
