This is great. Thank you for sharing.
These days I am working on trying to understand the Fourier transform (1807). It is great fun. I finally understand the equation and how it works. Pure beauty. Now I am in the process to use it in practice. I am planning to write about it and perhaps write some visualizations to help others understand.
This post made me think about a crazy idea I had. I wanted to write periodic posts to talk about the work of all these great mathematicians. I also wanted to have a place where people could buy gear (t-shirts). The same way people is very proud of wearing a sports guy t-shirt (Lebron 23), I'd love to see people wearing t-shirts with mathematicians names (Fourier 10). It's crazy I know.

- pdm55 9y agoAn interesting book, written by an interesting group, is "Who is Fourier". They seem to be mainly undergraduates in Japan who learn and teach each other new languages. They took on a similar task to explain Fourier Transforms to each other. Their motivation was to understand the mathematics of languages.
