If you do any electronics work–especially digital signal processing–you probably know that any signal can be decomposed into a bunch of sine waves. Conversely, you can generate any signal by adding up ...
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 ...
In less than 100 seconds, Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb of the University of Cambridge in the UK provides a basic definition of a Fourier transform. She explains how this mathematical tool was introduced ...
