Two hundred years ago, Joseph Fourier introduced a major concept in mathematics, the so-called Fourier transform (FT). It was not until 1965, when Cooley and Tukey developed the ‘fast Fourier ...

When last we saw [xoreaxeax], he had built a lens-less optical microscope that deduced the structure of a sample by recording the diffraction patterns formed by shining a laser beam through it. At the ...

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 ...
