Spectroscopy and the Fourier transform

Más información sobre el libro

Spectroscopy and the Fourier An Interactive Tutorial presents concepts central to modern spectroscopy, such as the Fourier transform, in a new interactive way using computer spreadsheets. The emphasis is on hands-on manipulation of these spreadsheets and the pictorial rather than the mathematical presentation of information. This encourages the readers to explore the computations as they learn them. Each chapter deals with a mathematical topic or topics widely used in modern instrumental measurements. Fundamental aspects of each type of calculation are presented, and simple Excel spreadsheets are given that provide short "laboratory exercises" using the respective calculations. Examples and references are provided. Spectroscopy and the Fourier An Interactive Tutorial is an electronic workbook for the study of important mathematical techniques used in many forms of computer-aided spectroscopy. It is designed as a companion text for traditional books on various forms of modern spectroscopy, and it is well suited to instruction at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as the training of technicians. The book also serves as a simple introduction to the use of spreadsheets themselves.
