Fourier Transform Tutorial

Hi,

I have created a Fourier Transform tutorial. It is located here:

It uses interactive flash programs to help you see how the fourier transform works. There are currently 5 flash modules with lots of embedded audio in each module.

The site also includes tutorials on the fourier series, complex numbers, the discrete fourier transform and some radio frequency topics.

As far as i can tell so far you have a good handle on the material. You do need to polish up the audio tracks, there are far too many pauses, umms, ahhs and the like. There is still too little follow through on how the math works out. Try linking to much more detailed math, not much need to put it in the mainline.

If you can find a copy try E. Oran Brigham's "The Fourier Transform", It may really help you with the presentation.

Thanks for the reply.

I am deliberately trying to de-emphasize the math. This website is intended for someone who already has looked over the math equations and cannot visualize what they mean. The hope is after they go through this site, they will be able to go back to their text book and be able to make progress. The motivation came from me being a student and not really getting any of this stuff until I pondered it a long time and saw a few "ah-ha"s. I am trying to get them to see the ah-ha 's quickly.

As far as the audio goes -- I know it is amateurish. It is just incredibly difficult to do the audio right. I have a real new found respect for good narration. My intent is for the user to play with the program, and the narration is there as kind of an instruction manual.

Hey richard. Good to see that you are still alive.

PS Oops - maybe that was not such a great way of putting it .

I really want to hand it to you, Brent. These presentations are lovely. After understanding the basic concepts though, I'd like to go back and understand the math, which I learned at NYU 40 years ago and promptly forgot. I'd be most appreciative if you could point me to some places which could spoon feed the math to me. Thanks again, Yitzhak

Thanks for the nice reply. It is unusual to get a reply so long after the initial thread. I am sorry, I don't really have a good book that spoon feeds the math. Maybe some others here have some suggestions.

Good Luck
