A key algorithm that quietly empowers and simplifies our electronics is the Fourier transform, which turns the graph of a signal varying in time into a graph that describes it in terms of its ...

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of mathematics and physics. The calculation, called the Fourier transform, ...

Harmonic analysis occupies a central position in modern mathematical analysis by providing the tools to express complex functions as superpositions of simpler sinusoidal components via the Fourier ...
