The coefficients of the Fourier series are determined by integrals of the function multiplied by trigonometric functions, described in Fourier series§Definition. The study of the convergence of Fourier series focus on the behaviors of the partial sums , which means studying the behavior of the sum as more and more terms from the series are summed.

In the study of heat conduction, the Fourier number, is the ratio of time, , to a characteristic time scale for heat diffusion, . This dimensionless group is named in honor of J.B.J. Fourier , who formulated the modern understanding of heat conduction. [ 1 ]
The inverse transform, known as Fourier series, is a representation of () in terms of a summation of a potentially infinite number of harmonically related sinusoids or complex exponential functions, each with an amplitude and phase specified by one of the coefficients:
Besides, this theorem cannot improve the best known bound on the size of the Fourier coefficient of a α-Hölder function—that is only (/) and then not summable. Zygmund's theorem states that, if ƒ is of bounded variation and belongs to a α-Hölder class for some α > 0, it belongs to the Wiener algebra.
The lower right corner depicts samples of the DTFT that are computed by a discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The utility of the DTFT is rooted in the Poisson summation formula, which tells us that the periodic function represented by the Fourier series is a periodic summation of the continuous Fourier transform: [b]
In this case, if we make a very large matrix with complex exponentials in the rows (i.e., cosine real parts and sine imaginary parts), and increase the resolution without bound, we approach the kernel of the Fredholm integral equation of the 2nd kind, namely the Fourier operator that defines the continuous Fourier transform. A rectangular ...
In structural biology, as well as in virtually all sciences that produce three-dimensional data, the Fourier shell correlation (FSC) measures the normalised cross-correlation coefficient between two 3-dimensional volumes over corresponding shells in Fourier space (i.e., as a function of spatial frequency [1]).
