Fourier Transform

A mathematical transform that decomposes a function of time into its constituent frequencies.

Description

The Fourier Transform is a fundamental mathematical tool that decomposes a function of time (or space) into the frequencies that make it up. It transforms a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain, allowing for analysis of the signal's frequency components. The Fourier Transform and its variants (e.g., Fast Fourier Transform) are widely used in various fields of science and engineering, particularly in signal processing, image analysis, and data compression.
