Fourier transform

Fourier transform
The Fourier transform is an operation that transforms one complex-valued function of a real variable into another. The new function, often called the frequency domain representation of the original function, describes which frequencies are present in the original function. This is in a similar spirit to the way that a chord of music can be described by notes that are being played.

Properties of Fourier transforms

linearity The Fourier transform of the sum of two functions is equal to the sum of the Fourier transforms of the individual function. The Fourier transform of a constant times a function is equal to the constant times the Fourier transform of the function.
