    Sir Chris Tisdel. I was looking for information to refresh my memory on Papa Fourier's transforms. Finally I found it. Many thanks Sir, this is one of the best representation and also a beneficial introduction for technicians and also engineers on Fourier transforms. The method and explanation are perfect. great tutor

    This was the most amazing video I have ever watched, explaining how to actually integrate the Function.
    I got a bit panicky when you missed out the ^2, but you corrected yourself quickly. Amazing tutorial. Will use this is my exploration now.

    Thank you very much Dr Chris. It is as usually an interesting representation. I have just a simple remark: at the end of the representation when you make the change of the variable z=x+iw/2sqrt(a) the integration becomes on the complex line z=x+iw/2sqrt(a) and via residus theorem we can deduce that the value of the new integral is also equal to sqrt(pi).

    Poto Littlelotte Here j = imaginary number = sq root of -1.
    j^2 = j * j = -1 So the product (a - jw) (a + jw) = (a^2 - (jw)^2 ) = (a^2 - (-1) * w^2) = a^2 + w^2 :
    Here ^ stands for power and * is for multiplication. Hope this helps.

    Hi, great video. I worked through the same problems on my own after and got the same results by just remembering your process, so I'm getting somewhere. I tried, though, to do the inverse Fourier transform of your second example to see if I could return to the original function. It felt like such a similar process (completing the square and using the standard integral you gave) I thought I was onto a winner, but so much cancelled out and left me with just 1/sqrt(a), not a function of anything.

    Thank you so much for this. Many of the vids on FT do not go into explicit examples and so I am left wondering how does it actually pan out. You have solved this for me - thank you again. Question: in both of your examples the FT of a real function is real, despite having dipped into complex numbers through the definition. Is this the case in general? The first time I saw the definition of FT I thought "that's weird going from a real to complex - how can that be useful" ... so what is the general rule?

    i appreciate that you invested your own time to teach this but i must say if your going to attempt to teach it you must do so properly. For instance you said the integral converges without even mentioning what converges meant

    • @DrChrisTisdell
      @DrChrisTisdell  8 років тому +4

      +jay714ful Thanks. I can't mention everything, so I need to make decisions on what to leave in and what to leave out. I do assume that viewers understand what it means for an integral to converge. (Convergence of integrals is usually taught in a Calc 1 course, which is a long way from Fourier Transforms.)

    • @jay714ful
      @jay714ful 8 років тому

      Hmm I respect and understand your point on the matter. However when using youtube as a forum to teach, one should expect that most of the viewers will not be well versed in the subject and will not have the conventional academic understanding and ordering of its contents. Therefore I feel it is paramount that one does not simply leave holes in his explanation as he is working under the ( false ) assumption that his audience knows how to fill them. In such instances a relatively short exposition would serve to further intellectually enrich those who use the resource. Thank you.

    Hello, I don't quite agree with the correction mentioned in the description saying the "4a" in the final answer of second example needs to be replaced with "4a^2". Didn't we get "4a" only because the second "a" in "4a^2" got cancelled out with the "a" from outside the parenthesis?! What am I missing?

  • @johnquest3102
    @johnquest3102 7 років тому

    Hello professor, THANK YOU, i really appreciate this series, i studied (as tech elective) Laplace transforms and Fourier series in college and I am studying Fourier transforms now (32 years after graduating) so my question is: what does an i in the result mean? Sometimes all the i cancel out and sometimes not, sometimes there is an i in the exponent. The problem I want to solve is the FT of the N-wave of a sonic boom (sudden rise in pressure followed by linear decline to negative pressure and then a sudden rise to ambient pressure) but it troubles me that there can remain an i in the result, it would seem that every i should resolve in to a sin or cos term. Best regards, John in Michigan.

    Chris, great video, however, when you completed the square, why was ((iw)/(2a))^2 - ((iw)/(2a))^2 = w^2 /4a and not zero??.. Am I being stupid or can you or anyone explain.

    • @fun2badult
      @fun2badult 10 років тому +1

      The second term (iw/2a)^2 turns into (i^2)(w^2)/(4a^2). Due to i^2, it turns the second term into a positive term. So it becomes (iw/2a)^2 + (w^2)/(4a^2). Then, since there's an 'a' outside, when we bring the second term out, the bottom one of the a^2 gets cancelled and you end up with (w^2/4a)

      j (or i) is used to denote the imaginary square root of minus one. When the two brackets multiply together they give you a squared + (-j)(j) w2 (which equals a2 + 1*w2. This is simply complex number theory.
