<p>So they offer an applied harmonic analysis class and a transform methods class at University of Maryland, but I don't know what the difference is. Here's the class descriptions for both. Thanks. Eddie.</p>
<p>MATH464 Transform Methods for Scientists and Engineers
Prerequisite: Differential Equations. Fourier transform, Fourier series, discrete fast Fourier transform (DFT and FFT). Laplace transform. Poisson summations, and sampling. Optional Topics: Distributions and operational calculus, PDEs, Wavelet transform, Radon transform and applications such as Imaging, Speech Processing, PDEs of Mathematical Physics, Communications, Inverse Problems. </p>
<p>MATH416 Applied Harmonic Analysis: An Introduction to Signal Processing; (3 credits) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD.
Prerequisite: Linear Algebra; or permission of department. Familiarity with MATLAB is also required. Introduces students to the mathematical concepts arising in signal analysis from the applied harmonic analysis point of view. Topics include applied linear algebra, Fourier series, discrete Fourier transform, Fourier transform, Shannon Sampling Theorem, wavelet bases, multiresolution analysis, and discrete wavelet transform.</p>
