This modern approach to the subject is clearly and logically
structured, and gives readers an understanding of the essence of
Fourier transforms and their applications. All important aspects are
included with respect to their use with optical spectroscopic data.
Based on popular lectures, the authors provide the mathematical
fundamentals and numerical applications which are essential in
practical use. The main part of the book is dedicated to applications
of FT in signal processing and spectroscopy, with IR and NIR, NMR and
mass spectrometry dealt with both from a theoretical and practical
point of view. Some aspects, linear prediction for example, are
explained here thoroughly for the first time.
