Learning and Teaching Methods
The module is offered as lectures with accompanying practice sessions. In the lectures, the contents will be presented in a talk with demonstrative examples, as well as through discussion with the students. The lectures should animate the students to carry out their own analysis of the themes presented and to independently study the relevant literature. Corresponding to each lecture, practice sessions will be offered, in which exercise sheets and solutions will be available. In this way, students can deepen their understanding of the methods and concepts taught in the lectures and independently check their progress.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The module examination is based on a 30-minute oral exam. Students are able to understand the interplay between functions and their Fourier transform and can use it to obtain optimized approximations of functions.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
