An Introduction to the Fourier Transform

In this engaging introduction to the Fourier Transform, we use a fun Lego analogy to understand what the Fourier Transform is. Just as a toy car can be assembled from individual Lego bricks, each brick with properties like its color, its shape, and its position in the car, we'll see how signals can be built from individual sinusoids, each sinusoid with properties like its frequency, its amplitude, and its phase. Join us for a quick and intuitive introduction to the Fourier Transform, what it's all about, why it matters, and how it works. Get ready to unlock the power of this mathematical tool and gain a whole new perspective on the world of signals.
