Course Category：Advanced Course
Aims & Requirements:
The goal is to study the inter-relationship between complex analysis, harmonic analysis and signal analysis, including higher dimensional cases. In the latter, one naturally uses Clifford algebra and Clifford analysis, that is a modern and fruitful research area whose beauty and applications now are being explored by the world mathematicians. The lectures will include some material on the latest development in signal analysis.
Prerequisites:
As prerequisite knowledge we require basic knowledge in real and complex analysis. Some fundamental knowledge in harmonic analysis will have great advantage.
