CHAPTER

Exploring Fourier Analysis and the Origins of Fourier Transform

The chapter delves into the origin story of Fourier analysis, focusing on how a mathematician named Joseph Fourier solved a differential equation for heat transfer in a solid body. They discuss how Fourier realized the solution for sources represented as sine waves, utilized the superposition property of differential equations, and decomposed various inputs into combinations of sine waves, leading to the creation of Fourier analysis.
