Fourier analysis - Wikipedia
In the sciences and engineering, the process of decomposing a function into oscillatory components is often called Fourier analysis, while the operation of rebuilding the function from these pieces is known as Fourier synthesis.
Fourier analysis is the study of how general functions can be decomposed into trigonometric or exponential functions with deflnite frequencies. There are two types of Fourier expansions:

This course continues the content covered in 18.100 Analysis I. Roughly half of the subject is devoted to the theory of the Lebesgue integral with applications to probability, and the other half to Fourier series and Fourier integrals.
These are notes from the second half of a spring 2020 Fourier analysis class, written up since the class turned into an online class for the second half of the semester due to the COVID pandemic.
Fourier Analysis (starting about week 7). A complex-valued, periodic function f(x) of period 2π is represented by the Fourier series. e inx , n ∈ Z = {0, ±1, ±2, . . . should be viewed as a basis for the infinite-dimensional vector space of periodic functions.
Fourier analysis follows from Fourier’s theorem, which states that every function can be completely expressed as a sum of sines and cosines of various amplitudes and frequencies .
This class shows that in the 20th century, Fourier analysis has established itself as a central tool for numerical computations as well, for vastly more general ODE and PDE when explicit formulas are not available.
The branch of mathematics we will consider is called Fourier Analysis, after the French mathematician Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier 1 (1768-1830), whose treatise on heat flow first introduced most of these concepts.

This chapter on Fourier analysis covers three broad areas: Fourier series in Secs. 11.1–11.4, more general orthonormal series called Sturm–Liouville expansions in Secs. 11.5 and 11.6 and Fourier integrals and transforms in Secs. 11.7–11.9.
