Lecture 12 | The Fourier Transforms and its Applications

Lecture by Professor Brad Osgood for the Electrical Engineering course, The Fourier Transforms and its Applications (EE 261). Professor Osgood reminds the students that the best class of functions for Fourier Functions are rapidly decreasing functions.

The Fourier transform is a tool for solving physical problems. In this course the emphasis is on relating the theoretical principles to solving practical engineering and science problems.

Brad Osgood always boosts my morale. :)

Praises to Brad Osgood.

Mathematicians are formalists (including myself). We care about absolute perfection in mathematical reasoning. Most derivations involving integration on the real line need A LOT of justification. A lot of people get bothered by rigor police because they make things more difficult. But it is justified, since without RIGOROUR arguments there might be an error. However, in physics and engineering you do not need to worry about it really. Only in math be afraid be very afraid of the police ^.^

Who are these rigor police ? Should I be afraid ?
