Textbook on Calculus and Fourier Series

In summary, the person is looking for a textbook recommendation to deepen their understanding of intermediate/advanced mathematics, specifically for learning Fourier series. They have an engineering degree but struggle with math, and are looking for a readable textbook to boost their skills from foundation to intermediate level. Suggestions for textbooks include Kolmogorov and Fomin's Introductory Real Analysis and Walter Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis. The person has also received offers for additional textbooks to help with Fourier series.

Hi,

I'm looking for a recommendation for a good textbook which will deepen my understanding of intermediate/advanced mathematics to help me understand the above two (well I know one is subsection of the other) subjects. I would like to learn Fourier series for use with musical exploits.

I have an engineering degree but I've always struggled with the maths and with that needed to understand Fourier series I'm really, really struggling.

So I could do with a sensible recommendation of a readable (not an expert) textbook which will boost my maths from foundation to intermediate level ideally.

Problem is I don't know where to look can anyone help me with a good recommendation?

I'd be most in your debt. Thanks :wink:

Calculus or analysis?

I'm working thorugh Kolmogorov and Fomin's Introductory Real Analysis, and it's really nice. It's a Dover book, so it's pretty cheap as well.

For real analysis (which is probably what you want), a lot of people like Walter Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis. It's very dense, though.

i have 3 or 4 textbooks that will help you - my engineer fellow - with Fourier . what is your email ?

I've ordered a copy from Amazon I got it for about £7 all in postage too, thanks mate :wink:
