Fourier-related transforms are of central importance in diverse applications of electrical engineering, mathematical physics, and numerical analysis. The present book is the first volume of a series of 3 texts. It gives a comprehensive introduction to Fourier-related one-dimensional transforms, fast algorithms and various applications in signal processing. This book consists of 10 chapters (with many examples and exercises) and an appendix. It covers continuous-time, discrete-time, and discrete Fourier-related transforms, e.g. Fourier, Hartley, Mellin, Hilbert, and Laplace transforms, sine and cosine transforms, \(z\)-transforms. Fast algorithms (with Fortran and C programs on an enclosed diskette) are presented for the computation of discrete transforms. Applications in continuous-time and discrete-time linear time-invariant systems and filtering are discussed. Discrete-time convolutions, correlations, Toeplitz-like systems and their fast computations are also considered. In the appendix, fundamentals in systems and signals, generalized functions as well as optimal representations of random processes (by Karhunen-Loeve transforms) are sketched. This book can be used as a textbook in courses involving signals and systems, signal processing, and Fourier-related transforms with applications, respectively. It will also serve as reference for electrical engineers, physicists, and mathematicians.
