A mathematical theorem stating that a PERIODIC function f(x) which is reasonably continuous may be expressed as the sum of a series of sine or cosine terms (called the Fourier series), each of which ...

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, ...

One of the nice things about living in the Internet age is that creating amazing simulations and animations is relatively simple today. [SmarterEveryDay] recently did a video that shows this off, ...

AT the thirty-second session of the Indian Science Congress, held at Nagpur in 1945, Dr. B. N. Prasad, president of the Section of Mathematics and Statistics, delivered an address on the summability ...

The Fourier transform underpins so much of our technological lives, in most cases probably without our realising it. The ability to mathematically split a waveform into its frequency components and ...
