Publisher's Synopsis
This book demonstrates Microsoft EXCEL®-based Fourier transform of selected physics examples, as well as describing spectral density of the auto-regression process in relation to Fourier transform. Rather than offering rigorous mathematics, the book provides readers with an opportunity to gain an understanding of Fourier transform through the examples. They will acquire and analyze their own data following the step-by-step procedure outlined, and a hands-on acoustic spectral analysis is suggested as the ideal long-term student project.
This new edition updates and greatly expands upon the first, with additional examples and exercises in various application domains as well as a new chapter on Quantum random walks and Fourier analysis.
Key Features:
- Hands on practical acoustic analysis
- Extended new edition
- Incorporates many new areas of applications in physics and engineering
- Includes quantum random walks
