In the beginning of the 19th century, Joseph Fourier developed an infinite series of sine and cosine functions to describe heat flow in a long, thin rectangular plate. However, his assertions ran contrary to the prevailing understanding of functions and infinite series. It took some time for the mathematical world to accept his findings, but today we know Fourier series are extremely important and have led to a whole branch of mathematics called Fourier Analysis. In this talk, I will introduce Fourier series and the Fourier transform and show some applications.
