In this video, we explore the life and work of Fourier, culminating in the famous Fourier Series.
FAQ : How do you make these animations?
Animations are mostly made in Apple Keynote which has lots of functionality for animating shapes, lines, curves and text (as well as really good LaTeX). For some of the more complex animations, I use the Manim library. Editing and voiceover work in DaVinci Resolve.

What impressed me most is the use of FFT algorithm, popularized by Cooley and Tukey in 1965, was first invented by Gauss 1.5 centuries prior to that(which he didn't publish because he thought it was useless) and he even predated fourier on representations of functions as infinite harmonic series. He had a lot of "This theorem was discovered by [insert name], but it turned out to have been proven by Gauss 10 years prior" moments, hence the phrase "you're smart but you're no Gauss". He really just needs a better PR team, akin to those of Newton's

I think a lot of these stories surrounding Gauss are apocryphal and rooted more in wishful thinking rather than facts. Not denying that Gauss was a great mathematician tho.

@@Neater_profile Gauss and Euler had mathematical abilities so far beyond your comprehension that tales of them are interpreted by wishful thinking even if they had no computers to check the results. Euler stumped his teachers by adding numbers with a system instead of being a linear, step by step sheeple like the rest.

Dear Will, thank you. You have answered a question, I have been pondering for the past 42 years. As I watched your video, I was teleported back, "through space and time" to the summer of 1982. I was studying Fourier analysis and I had an epiphany, the first time my "wave function collapsed". I simply realized,"If you give me any function, any function f(x), I can express it in terms of a simple combination of sines and cosines." - Pure mathematics at its best, QED. Or as Sidney Coleman said it, "The career of a young Theoretical Physicist consists of treating the harmonic oscillator in ever increasing levels of abstraction."

Hey, man! Amazing video! Loved the background story!!! I would like to know if you can do the same for the Laplace Transform. I did a lot of digging through the years and I actually figured that it just came to be what it is from trial and error. However, I am aware that there is a way to derive it from Fourier Transform. Anyway, would be awesome to see you covering these topics as well!

Dear Dr Will Wood. Can you explain the relationship between equation at 4:27 and Newton's cooling law? At first glance it seems to make sense, but in Newton Law of Cooling there is no spacial variable? Also the unit of 2 equations is not the same. For Newton's law of cooling, the unit of dQ/dt is Watt, but for the second equation, the unit is W/m. Can you help explain this?

That which is like to itself in differentiation and exponentiation must be directly related to the exponential function, and Gamma(z) is equal to it for certain values, and seems to oscillate between cosine and sine at multiples of 1/2. In fact, it seems to act like a generalization of exp(z), and Gamma does after all show up in the partial sum of exp(z) itself which would also seem to imply a way to possibly generalize factorial given a means to compute the nth digit of e in some base? So far, my guess is there's probably a sum of four independent terms involving the exponential which I hypothesize from the likeness and alternative representation of the simple sum of complexes z + w as z+w=\left(\sqrt{z}+i\sqrt{w} ight)\left(\sqrt{z}-i\sqrt{w} ight)=\frac{1}{2}\left(e^{-i\arccos\sqrt{z}}+e^{i\arccos\sqrt{z}}+i\left(e^{-i\arccos\sqrt{w}}+e^{i\arccos\sqrt{w}} ight) ight)\cdot\frac{1}{2}\left(e^{-i\arccos\sqrt{z}}+e^{i\arccos\sqrt{z}}-i\left(e^{-i\arccos\sqrt{w}}+e^{i\arccos\sqrt{w}} ight) ight). Consider also product_(n=0)^(k) (x + i n) and the particular products with which this product converges as k goes to infinity. All of this leads me to believe that perhaps there's some simple sort of representation by generalizing the imaginary unit if not the complexes in a particular way such that something simple along the lines of f(z)^n = Gamma(f(z) + n)/Gamma(f(z)). With that, and with being able to represent any Gamma(z) for z in the rectangular region [0, 1 + i] (or really any such region [n+ik, n+1 + ij] for integers n, k and j), both representing Gamma sufficiently with which to create some sort of symbolic arithmetic (provided certain comparative operations can be performed symbolically), as well as computing arbitrarily good approximations of Gamma(z), would be trivialized-and that's just what I'm looking for. Am still sad I didn't get addicted to complex arithmetic sooner 😔

Only problem i've seen with the video is it's assertion that you can derive fourier's law from newton's law of cooling. You can not, in the video he slipped in dT/dx instead of just dT, which is newton's original formulation, such a move is unjustified though
