Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of ...

We’ve seen many graphical and animated explainers for the Fourier series. We suppose it is because it is so much fun to create the little moving pictures, and, as a bonus, it really helps explain this ...

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 218 (Apr., 1976), pp. 61-87 (27 pages) The main result is an Lp mean convergence theorem for the partial sums of the Fourier series of a class ...

Journal of Computational Mathematics, Vol. 21, No. 1, SPECIAL ISSUE DEDICATED TO THE 80TH BIRTHDAY OF PROFESSOR ZHOU YULIN (JANUARY 2003), pp. 53-62 (10 pages) This paper finds a way to extend the ...

Microsoft Office Excel contains a data analysis add-in that allows to to perform a Fourier analysis of a series of numbers. So named for the French mathematician who developed the analytic technique ...

In January, four MIT researchers showed off a replacement for one of the most important algorithms in computer science. Dina Katabi, Haitham Hassanieh, Piotr Indyk, and Eric Price have created a ...
