Minimal learning outcomes

Periodic functions and Fourier series;

Convergence of Fourier series;

Spaces of functions on R^n

The space of compactly supported functions, functions of compact support and the algebraic structure of those spaces, i.e., convolution.

The Fourier transform of rapidly decreasing functions and L^2 functions, inversion formula and Plancherel theorems.

Introduction to distribution theory and the continuous linear functionals on function spaces. How to differentiate distributions. The Fourier transform of distributions.
