When ever I watch one of Jade's videos i feel like I am watching and adult version of Playschool (an Australian kids educational TV show) there is a level of enthusiasm and 'you can do this' that comes through that is so wonderful. I often get lulled into a false sense of security and zone out and then have to go back and re-watch remembering that I'm not quite as smart as she makes me feel. Jade I love everything about the way that you do what you do it must take a mountain of work so thank you so much.

Finally!!! This was my Eureka moment. I've studied Fourier Series and Transformation multiple times during my bachelor's and masters in computer science and each time I only learned the technique and not _why_ and _how_ it's used. This is the best explanation and intuitive explanation of Fourier Series and Transformation I've ever encountered. Thank you so much Jade! You must've researched really hard to come up with the examples and simpler words to explain this. Thank you once again ♥️

Same. Music producer here. This was my eureka moment.

You've become such an amazing educational video creator, Jade! The cinematography amazing: lighting, camera quality, colour-correction, framing, pacing,, etc... You've even mastered how to use these skills to effectively get your point across without it becoming a distraction. I supported you on patreon previously but had to stop for financial reasons and I then didn't keep up with your uploads (mostly because my physics studies became so exhausting, I rarely had the energy to watch physics videos for fun). I'm so glad I looked you up again, though. I'm very proud of how far you've come. Keep it up.

Being a telecommunication engineer I perfectly know how Fourier transforms are ubiquitous, as they are necessary for signal processing an electronic communications. But it is fundamental also for buildings and mechanics because the analysis in the frequency domain allows to understand how materials and systems behave under given inputs. I think nowadays it is as essential as basic math operators like +, -, /, *, etc....

Engineering mathematics is core course for all engineers irrespective of the discipline of engineering. Fourier Series is covered in details in engineering mathematics

This is my most favorite topic in introductory signal processing where signals in the time domain exhibit a certain characteristic in the frequency domain through respective spectral properties. Thanks, Jade, for the animated and colorful video! Cheers! 😍🤓🥰

I wish I had a teacher like Jade when I learned the Fourier Transform 20+ years ago. Thanks for the brilliant explanation and superb animations that helped me understand!

This concept blew my mind the first time I learned about it at uni. Until then, I had never realised, or even considered you could transform from one domain to another. I'm now an audio engineer, it's astonishing how ubiquitous, useful and practical the Fourier transform is in the field. I liked the tie in to real world algorithms at the end. I would like to see a video about different sorting algorithms if possible! My personal favourite is the radix sort.

Calculus in general does that, when you think about it. Like with simple kinematics: you can describe an object's motion in terms of position, or take the derivative to describe that same motion in terms of velocity, or take the derivative one more time to describe that same motion in terms of acceleration.

Thanks! Possibly the clearest intro to the topic. Sharing this with my kid. Subscribed as well.❤

The best video on KZread for Fourier transform and analysis! Please make more videos on this part of physics/ engineering. This feeling of understanding and visualization of Fourier transforms is extremely satisfying! Thanks for making a great video.

I've always love the Fourier transform. I first learned of it back in the early 1990s when I was using a "granular synthesizer" that would let you draw a picture and then it'd convert that into sound. It took over 20 years for some software to duplicate that synthesizer. BTW, my wife and I bought your t-shirts and we love them. Keep up the good work.

Fairlight music synthesizer had this capability in 1979.

My favourite usage, and indeed my introduction to, the Fourier Transform is in Mersenne primality testing. The most computationally expensive part of some primality tests is a squaring of a very large integer. By representing the digits of the number as time-series array, taking the fourier transform, squaring the individual elements (this step can be done massively parallel, hello GPU computing!), and then transforming it back, we have effectively squared the original number in a fraction of the time.

I've come across these concepts before. What I love about this video, and many of your other videos, is that you encouraged the viewer to go beyond understanding that this works and explained how it worked. Super impressed with this explanation. Thanks Jade!

I really appreciate the way you focused on the real number amplitude components as a way of simplifying your lesson. Not worrying about phase allows you to clearly show the connection between the integral calculations and its amplitude spectrum. This was the clearest of dozens of explanations I've read and watched over the last 20 years. Thank you so much.

Your editing is PHENOMENAL. Also this is the best explanation.

so may years spent trying to understand fourier series and transform and then this one 14 minute long video comes along and makes things all so clear. Thank you

I’m always excited to see a new UaA video come in, and this one didn’t disappoint! Fourier transforms always seemed like magic to me, but your explanation made it all make sense. Also, beautiful locations! That mountain and lake (river?) scene was gorgeous! 👏

Thanks for cracking open a black box, I've been carrying since college physics. Brilliant exposition and the accompanying video makes it easier to understand.

Fourier transform, this is interesting. I have studied it my graduation. This could use in various cool projects.

loved the video. the editing and visual effects were amazing!!

Amazing video Jade! I learned so much! Definitely needed something like this!

Nicely done, Jade. I was introduced to, and began using Fourier Transforms in the 1970's. One of the things I learned is that one does not need the basis vectors to be orthogonal provided they are non-degenerate. As long as each basis vector cannot be described in terms of any other basis in the set, one can still get an absolute description of the phenomenon! When one is examining Complex space, this trick can sometimes massively increase the number of signals that are actually observed. (fyi, Real life detectors simply cannot see spectral lines that have a non-zero imaginary component.) This technique was used to double the observables in early MRI spectra.

Very interesting, thank you! I'm working on a video game and waves are great for generating terrain and this has given me more tools to use with the world generation part of it all

You are amazing at explaining hard topics. Keep up the great work!❤️

Great explanation and graphics. Of all the videos on this topic, your explanation is the most intuitive. You break down everything and explain each piece of the puzzle with great graphics. I'm recommending all my students to this video from now on.

Great video! One neat trick to solve for series is to consider the derivative or integral of a series that is easier to find. For example, once you have the square wave series, you can trivially solve for a triangle wave, by doing the simple integral of each sin term. That’s because a triangle wave is the integral of a square wave.

Thanks for the video. This really brings me back to 30 years ago during a nerdy summer program where I had a project to modify sound recordings using FFT.

Fourier series works mainly on `periodic' functions. Aperiodic functions are treated as periodic functions with their periods tending to infinity. In this case, the Fourier series (in the form of summation) takes the form of integration, which is known as the Foruier transform.

Reminds of 2nd Year in College. Had a course in Signal Processing and my overall B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering. Fourier series is indeed freaking stuff.

I could have used a high-quality video like this to explain some of this stuff when I studied them, the visualization is a lot better than the ones I saw. I'm happy this video exists now, so others might find it useful and who knows, I might come back to this stuff some day as well :) Thank you Jade!

Thanks for the video. I’ve been a chemist in industry for 15 years. I learned it back in college but wasn’t great with it. I’ve had to “black box” it (use without a firm understanding) in explanations for instrumentation I use (FT-IR) and some instrument designs I’ve worked on. This is a great explanation. Not sure it’s a refresher for me as I wasn’t solid on it when I learned it.

This video gives me Flashback to my telecom classes in college. DSP (digital signal processing) with Matlab. Good stuff!

Fourier series & transform are incredibly powerful instrument that can be used in most of our aspects of life. While it's actually not perfect - as it doesn't provide the best possible solution (unless you're ok with applying more and more sine-waves to infinity) it's surprisingly powerful in practical terms. One (of the many) curious things about it, is that it's in the core of Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP). That's can be very confusing to most people, as most think that HUP is actually related to something physical in the nature of the quantum particles (I thought so too until not long ago) and one of the most popular explanations is that you can't measure a property of a quantum particle w/o interacting with it and affect its other properties in doing so. But this isn't at the core of the problem - it's a practical measuring problem (that we might not ever be able to solve), but doesn't actually say much about the nature of the quantum particles - ie what they do while we're NOT observing them. ... anyway the solution to this problem is still a mystery, and we might never find it (many scientists have already given up, and prefer to "shut up and calculate" what they can), but the current truth about HUP is that physicists are using Fourier series & transform as a tool for their measurements and the uncertainty is actually embedded in the HUP itself - it's a limitation of our Math Tool (no matter that it's indeed really, really powerful otherwise)! It's not necessary limitation of the universe (at quantum level)! That's pretty much the same question - Did we discover Math or did we invent it? - but with quantum physics seasoning :) While in most cases it's not practical to wonder about the philosophical aspect of a given field of science, it's extremely important imho that it's never ignored completely, as most people start to believe that what Math is telling us is what Universe actually IS ... which might be the case sometimes, but isn't really necessary true. Math is like a keyhole and if we sometimes see things take keyhole-shape (as we're looking thru it) doesn't mean that we're seeing the whole picture and that it's indeed their real shape.

I'm eternally grateful! Thank you for the clear explanation!

Hi Jade! Haha just found your channel have a feeling I am going to enjoy all the cool content! 😎🥰

Excellent video as always. I haven't worked with this in a very long time, and I'd forgotten how fun fourier series and transforms could be. I think I just saw a tooth waving at me so I'll go sin off for now.

Very nice video! Pay attention 6:10, this is how is typically represented the Fourier transform, not Fourier series. With the Fourier series we start from the time domain and stay in the time domain👍🏻

this is the best vid ive seen on KZread about Fourier analysis. Can you do one on Laplace transform too? Thanks ❤

it's great to see this being shown. The best part of my mechanical engineering was Fourier series and transform

In cryptography the corresponding transform is called the Walsh-Hadamard transform and it uses linear Boolean functions instead of sin and cos. The maximum value magnitude (= absolute value) in this transform gives the Nonlinearity, NL=(2^n - WWHmax), which is vital to the security of all ciphers. The Walsh-Hadamard Transform is the Fourier Transform when the underlying object is from the set {1,-1} (instead of {0,1}) rather than the set of all real numbers. Use butterfly method to compute it efficiently.

The clarity of this video is wonderful. I just sent it to my friend with zero math background
