This modern approach to the subject is clearly and logicallystructured, and gives readers an understanding of the essence ofFourier transforms and their applications. All important aspects areincluded with respect to their use with optical spectroscopic data.Based on popular lectures, the authors provide the mathematicalfundamentals and numerical applications which are essential inpractical use. The main part of the book is dedicated to applicationsof FT in signal processing and spectroscopy, with IR and NIR, NMR andmass spectrometry dealt with both from a theoretical and practicalpoint of view. Some aspects, linear prediction for example, areexplained here thoroughly for the first time.
