Lecture 1 | The Fourier Transforms and its Applications

by on November 6, 2009

Lecture by Professor Brad Osgood for the Electrical Engineering course, The Fourier Transforms and its Applications (EE 261). Professor Osgood provides an overview of the course, then begins lecturing on Fourier series. The Fourier transform is a tool for solving physical problems. In this course the emphasis is on relating the theoretical principles to solving practical engineering and science problems.

close your eyes
listen to his voice ……..
It’s Kevin Nealon !!!

I’m a student from math. I prefer professors to use chalk and blackboard(or markers and white board). I hate projectors! Prof. Brad’s lecture is so great~

costly to implement in a bunch of classrooms — and difficult to convince all profs to use newer technologies, and learn how to use them right. even projectors can be major distractions for some profs during lectures when they’re not sure what buttons to press to say, get the screen to move up or down, move the projector up or down, do this to connect a laptop which has such and such OS to the projector… and so on.

This guy’s good.

I’m a grade 12 student. And I’ve understood a LOT of it!! :)

That’s a good point, yes. Knowledge enters through the fingertips. Now I’m thinking, what if the background info, and formulas, were given in electronic format on a screen or slide, neatly ordered, but then to work a problem, only that part is done by hand. I think it might be more productive.

i think writing on chalk board encourages students to write the stuff down, while with screens and projectors the material is practically always downloadable elsewhere and makes the students much more passive. I think it’s better to encourage writing stuff down on complex subjects (math etc), since you tend to process the information at the same time, but with simple subjects where you don’t need to understand as much as remember (eg history) writing it down doesn’t serve too much of a purpose

I think he meant uniform motion but I’m not a mathematian

Got my IPOD TOUCH for FREE. Go to my profile and watch the video of me Unpacking it!!

42:10 why does he say it’s the only formula? Thanks!

It seems like the course page, referenced by the link in the video comment, no longer has the course materials available to download. The are at the “Stanford Engineering Everywhere” site. Seems like YouTube does not allow me to post a URL in a comment so you will have to google the above. Hope this helps.

nice :D
online lesson *put his book away and enjoy the clip*

This is fantastic! I just wonder why blackboard and chalk is still used today. Distracting to me. Why not a big screen LCD, point and click, and the pre-typed in material prints out at the rate of handwriting, which might be cool, then you could make these notes available online later, or even before the lecture for review.

These lectures are amazing!!! Thank You!

Thank you for putting this course online!

ncc1701zzz November 6, 2009 at 8:16 am

Great course. Any way to get the book commented in lecture 1? Thanks.

rammps1982 November 6, 2009 at 8:16 am

OMG…. What an energic man is this? I simply loved this lecture. Thanks

marshkid1 November 6, 2009 at 8:16 am

can’t believe they still use chalk boards at stanford…. get a projector and powerpoint.

roygbiv330 November 6, 2009 at 8:16 am

divide this into several pieces, add an index to each.

cant he cut to the chase….
he repeats the point many times over
