Important caveat: Fourier series is a discrete sum over integer multiple of frequencies, while Fourier transform is a continuous integral over all frequencies.

Important caveat:
Fourier series is a discrete sum over integer multiple of frequencies, while Fourier transform is a continuous integral over all frequencies.
The former works for periodic functions, the latter for an arbitrary function. Because you need all frequencies to bound a function.
