Kevin Cowtan's Book of Fourier

This is a book of pictorial 2-d Fourier Transforms. These are particularly relevant to my own field of X-ray crystallography, but should be of interest to anyone involved in signal processing or frequency domain calculations.

Contents:

• Introduction
• Book of Crystallography
• Duck Tales and missing data.
• A little Animal Magic and cross phasing.
• A Tail of Two Cats and image restoration.
• Animal Liberation and free-sets.

• The Gallery. Other interesting pictures.

Other topics:

An introduction to crystallographic Fourier transforms. The mathematical link between Scattering theory and Fourier theory. An explanation of the convolution theorem.
