Competences to be gained during study

 


— Capacity to understand the concepts and rigorous proofs of fundamental theorems of certain specific areas of mathematics.

— Capacity to apply the results and acquired techniques to solve complex problems in certain areas of mathematics in academic or professional contexts.

— Ability to prepare and develop logical mathematical reasoning and to identify errors in incorrect reasoning.

— Capacity to construct, interpret, analyze and validate mathematical models developed to simulate real situations.

— Ability to enunciate and verify statements, and to communicate the acquired mathematical knowledge orally or in writing.

— Capacity to select and use software tools to address problems related to mathematics.
 

 

 

 

 

Learning objectives

 

Referring to knowledge


— To know the classical results of Fourier series and the Fourier transform, and the main techniques for almost everywhere convergence of the series.

— To learn the applications to information theory.

— To acquire a broad knowledge of the applications of Fourier theory in image processing and digital signal analysis, learning to compress an image or filter a noisy signal.

— To acquire basic research skills in the field of harmonic analysis.

Teaching methods and general organization

 


Different topics will be presented in the theory lectures; For each topic, a collection of problems will be handed in; Students will prepare these exercises at home, and solve them in class; Students will also be assigned a series of programming exercises with MATLAB, to apply digital processing to images and sounds
 

 

 

Official assessment of learning outcomes

 


The continuous assessment has two sections:

Activity 1: Resolution of exercises and MATLAB assignments given in class.

Activity 2: Theoretical examination.

The final grade will be calculated as the average between 50% of Activity 1 and 50% of Activity 2 (a minimum grade of 4/10 is required on each activity).

 

Examination-based assessment


The single assessment consists of a final examination with theoretical and practical questions (exercises and MATLAB programs).

In order to be eligible for reassessment, students must have obtained a grade of at least 3.5/10 as a final grade in the continuous or single assessment.
