Joseph Fourier, born just 250 years ago, introduced a wonderful idea that revolutionised science and mathematics: any function or signal can be broken down into simple periodic sine-waves. Radio waves ...
The linear canonical transform (LCT) is a versatile integral transform that generalises classical transforms such as the Fourier, fractional Fourier, and Fresnel transforms. By utilising four ...
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, ...
