	[Prosig.com] Notes on Fourier Analysis
		Fourier analysis takes a signal and represents it either as a series of cosines (real part) and sines (imaginary part) or as a cosine with phase (modulus and phase form).
		That is the Fourier analysis is telling us we have a signal composed of multiple sine waves, the two principle ones being at 62 and 64Hz with half amplitudes of 0.32 and a phase of 0° and 180° respectively.
		Thus simple Fourier analysis is not suitable for random data, but it is for signals such as transients and complicated or simple periodic signals such as those generated by an engine running at a constant speed.

	Fourier Analysis and Synthesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Once you know the harmonic content of a sustained musical sound from Fourier analysis, you have the capability of synthesizing that sound from a series of pure tone generators by properly adjusting their amplitudes and phases and adding them together.
		One of the important ideas for sound reproduction which arises from Fourier analysis is that it takes a high quality audio reproduction system to reproduce percussive sounds or sounds with fast transients.
		This insight from Fourier analysis can be generalized to say that any sound with a sharp attack, or a sharp pulse, or rapid changes in the waveform like a square wave will have a lot of high frequency content.

	Fourier Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Fourier analysis is fundamental to understanding the behavior of signals and systems.
		Then, since Fourier analysis allows us to redefine the signals in terms of sinusoids, all we need to do is determine how any given system effects all possible sinusoids (its transfer function) and we have a complete understanding of the system.
		The four Fourier transforms that comprise this analysis are the Fourier Series, Continuous-Time Fourier Transform, Discrete-Time Fourier Transform and Discrete Fourier Transform.

		If you take the limit of the discrete Fourier transform as the number of time divisions increases without bound, you get the integral form of the continuous Fourier transform.

	Fourier Analysis
		Fourier analysis is about the representation of functions (or of data, signals, systems,...) in terms of such complex exponentials.
		In addition to this explanatory role, Fourier analysis can be used directly to construct useful pattern representations that are invariant under translation (change in position), rotation, and dilation (change in size).
		Finally, many operations in practical computing that might not seem related in any way to Fourier analysis, such as computing correlations, convolutions, derivatives, differential equations, and diffusions, are much more easily implemented in the Fourier domain.

		The Fourier series tells us that a sound may be decomposed in terms of sinewaves, but it doesn’t tell us how to do it - i.e., it doesn’t tell us what amplitudes A to assign to each f.

	Image Transforms - Fourier Transform
		The Fourier Transform is an important image processing tool which is used to decompose an image into its sine and cosine components.
		The Fourier Transform is used in a wide range of applications, such as image analysis, image filtering, image reconstruction and image compression.
		Because the image in the Fourier domain is decomposed into its sinusoidal components, it is easy to examine or process certain frequencies of the image, thus influencing the geometric structure in the spatial domain.

	1.2 Fourier series of 2-periodic functions
		Actually, if we compute the Fourier coefficients according to the formulae (1.13) - (1.15) and compose the Fourier series (1.4), we don't know whether the obtained series is convergent at all, and if it is convergent then does it converge to the parent function f(x) or to some different function.
		Note that the class of functions which are representable by their Fourier series expansion is quite wide and in most of the practical cases we can assume that the convergence conditions are satisfied.
		The sign ``~'' indicates that we have found the Fourier series expansion according to the formulae (1.13) - (1.15), but we don't know whether this expansion converges to this function, so we can't still use the sign ``=''.
