Textbook:

Fourier Analysis and Its Applications, by Gerald B. Folland.
International Thompson Publishing Company, 1992.

The majority of the course will be spent covering Chapters 2, 3, 7, and 9 of Folland's book.

Supplementary Texts:

We will also utilize material from Fourier Analysis by Elias Stein and Rami Shakarchi, and from Wavelet Theory by David Ruch and Patrick Van Fleet. It's not necessary to buy either of these books (though both are good).
