	Biography of Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier
		Baron Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier (March 21 1768-May 16, 1830), born in poor circumstances in Auxerre, introduced the idea that an arbitrary function, even one defined by different analytic expressions in adjacent segments of its range (such as a staircase waveform), could nevertheless be represented by a single analytic expression.
		Fourier was appointed as Prefect of Isèe by Napoleon in 1802 after a brief return to his former position as Professor of Analysis at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris.
		Fourier’s days in provincial government then ended and he moved to Paris to enter a life of science and scientific administration, being elected to the Académie des Sciences in 1817, to the position of permanent secretary in 1823, and to the Académie Française in 1826.

	Joseph Fourier Summary
		Fourier served from 1798 to 1802 as secretary of the Institut d'Égypte, established by Napoleon to explore systematically the archeological riches of that ancient land.
		Fourier was born at Auxerre in the Yonne département of France, the son of a tailor.
		Fourier is also credited with the discovery in his essay in 1824 that gases in the atmosphere might increase the surface temperature of the Earth.

	Biology 750: Diffraction/Fourier Transforms
		Diffracted waves, the Fourier transform of the object, are collected by the lens and recombined to form an image, this is a second Fourier Transformation from the frequency domain back to real space.
		Blow are two images reconstructed from the Fourier Transform, the first using only information near the ceter of the transform (analogous to a small numerical aperature) and the second using all of the information in the transform (alogous to a large numerical aperture).
		Thus, the continuous Fourier transform of the motif is sampled at the points of the Reciprocal lattice; the Fourier transform of the crystal is only non-zero at the points of the Reciprocal lattice.

	Signal Analysis Review
		Fourier discovered that periodic functions can be represented by an infinite sum of properly weighted sine and cosine functions of the proper frequencies.
		An example is to transform the Fourier transform of the pulse in the previous figure.
		The convolution integral, as expressed in Eqn.(1), holds for all cases as long as the system is linear and time-invariant.

		Uniform convergence does imply that the integral of the (uniform) limit is the limit of the integrals.
		Therefore, the contribution of the outer semicircle to the contour integral tends to zero as the radius tends to infinity.
		The integral along the right part is exactly the integral we are asked to compute, whereas the left part contributes i times that quantity.

	Laplace and Fourier Transforms
		In the latter case, they lead to an interesting identity applicable to situations where the distance between the consecutive points of the coordinates grid is an integer multiple of the period of the harmonic wave function.
		In other words, when D is an integer multiple of the period of the function exp(-iωx), the value of the Fourier integral does not depend upon the path which the UP-function y(x) follows between the extreme points and it is zero when the y(x) values at the extreme points are the same.
		This statement is a sweeping generalization of the fact that the integral of any harmonic function vanishes over an interval whose length is an integer multiple of its period.

	Inverse Z-transform
		Fourier analysis is widely used in mathematics, physics, and engineering as a Fourier integral transformation pair:
		These integrals correspond to the sums we are working with here except for some minor details.
		The Z-transform is always easy to make, but the Fourier integral could be difficult to perform, which is paradoxical, because the transforms are really the same.

		The main idea is to take the formulas of the Fourier series methods and apply them to a function with period 2L, as L→∞.
		At a point where f[x] is discontinuous the value of a Fourier Integral equals the average of the left and right hand limits of f[x] at that point.
		As with the Fourier Series representation of f[x], even and odd functions can be represented more easily by noting that for even functions B[w] = 0, and for odd functions A[w] = 0.

	Numerical computation of multidimensional Fourier integrals -- from Mathematica Information Center
		Each integral is evaluated over sets of equally-spaced values in each dimension whose Cartesian product spans an arbitrary region of transform variable space.
		For a given number of function evaluations, the multidimensional midpoint rule is used to approximate the integral as a multidimensional circular convolution, which is then evaluated using fast Fourier transforms.

	Some Fine Points of Fourier Transforms and Spectrum Analyzers
		If you actually work out these quantities, using my FFT as defined in equation 13, then the norm of the original data is equal to the norm of the transformed data, which means we are upholding Parseval’s theorem.
		The same arrangements generalize cleanly to the case of Fourier integral transforms; they are not limited to the discrete Fourier sums considered above.
		When we take the discrete Fourier transform, we obtain 32 points, namely the 17 points shown in figure 2, plus the mirror-image points at negative frequencies.

	The Fourier Transform
		In order to justify the definition of the Fourier transform and, in particular, the scaling it involves, let us first study its inverse; and restrict attention to a particularly well-behaved family of functions.
		In quantum mechanics, the momentum of a particle is just Planck's constant times the particle's wave covector (passed through the metric's inverse to turn it into a vector), so the uncertainties in the particle's position and momentum must, when multiplied, yield Planck's constant times the lower bound.
		It is manifest from the structure of its definition that F is linear.

	Z-TRANSFORM TO FOURIER TRANSFORM
		This is like a Fourier integral, and we could do a limiting operation to make it into an integral.
		Although one thinks of a Fourier transform as an integral which may be difficult or impossible to do, the Z transform is always easy, in fact trivial.
		A summary of the symmetries of Fourier transformation is shown in Figure 7.

	CTFT Properties
		For a number of signals of interest, the Fourier transform integral does not converge in the usual sense of elementary calculus.

	Fourier and other Integral Transforms
		Compare this result with the same process in Mathematica 3, and you will find that the new version is five times faster than before.
		The fast Fourier transform algorithms also play a part in the multiplication of very high-precision numbers; beyond a certain level of precision, they allow for faster multiplication than the Karatsuba algorithm Mathematica otherwise uses for high-precision multiplication.
		Along with a new Fourier transform algorithm, symbolic integral transforms, which had previously been part of the standard add-ons, have now been moved to the kernel.

	Fourier-integral operators
		Both pseudo-differential operators and Fourier-integral operators can make it possible to handle differential operators with variable coefficients in a way similar to that in which one would handle differential operators with constant coefficients using the Fourier transform.
		However, in the case of equations (5) the coefficients of the partial derivatives, while variable in space due to inhomogeneity, are constant at a given point over time.
		This will be useful in my applying FIOs to equations (5) since FIO theory draws on symbols and the Fourier Transform.

	Duality
		Earlier I mentioned the Dirichlet conditions for Fourier series, and I noted that these guarantee a Fourier transform is possible.
		Well, it would be nice to extend that to functions which go to any constant value, instead of to zero.
		However, we know that the Fourier transform of a Dirac impulse function δ(t) is 1, so using duality we can conclude the Fourier transform of x(t) = K directly.

	Atlas: The geometry of the calculus of Fourier integral operators by Ryszard Nest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Let be a Fourier Integral Operator and let and denote the algebras of pseudodifferential operators on X and Y. A natural object to consider is the bimodule, which carries the geometric information about the original operator.
		We will construct the microlocal bimodules associated to this situation and explain the kind of geometry involved in their study.As examples of applications we'll give homological interpretation of the composition of Fourier Integral Operators and of their traces.
		An important case where this kind of operators appear is the construction of Guillemin and Sternberg of Fourier Integral projections associated to coisotropic submanifolds of.
