A taste of applied (harmonic) analysis
Kasso Okoudjou
University of Maryland and MIT
Abstract:
In this talk I'll give an overview of some applications of harmonic analysis, focussing on its role in modern signal processing. I will also highlight some possible areas in higher education/research where, we, as diasporas can work together to help our respective ancestral countries.
