Atlas of Fourier Transforms – Physics Prof. Self Publishes Textbook (opens in new tab)

Some context for HN: This is a self-published book, which is nonstandard in my field. Usually you work with large academic publishing groups. The choice of self-publishing is an unknown process to most academics in science and engineering. It afforded me an opportunity to learn more about publishing, bookmaking, marketing, and distribution. Self-publishing allows the author to retain creative control on how the book is made, presented, and shared.

I know HN is interested in academic publishing policies, copyright, DRM, etc. This project presents an alternative for researchers to share knowledge.

The “Atlas of Fourier Transforms” caters to enthusiasts of all proficiency levels. Here, the reader embarks into the world of Fourier transforms through carefully curated images of Fourier pairs. As the atlas unfurls, it includes concepts of symmetry, rotation, translation, addition, multiplication, and interference. For those well-versed in the art of Fourier analysis, ”The Atlas of Fourier Transforms” offers an unparalleled dictionary of structures and their corresponding Fourier counterparts.
