The Fourier transform is a mathematical function which transforms a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain.
Essentially, the Fourier Transform shows that every single complex wave, every signal in our lives, can be represented as the sum of sine waves.
I...still don't get it...
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts
This program tries to highlight the beauty of this simple, yet wonderful concept.
And if you're still not convinced, follow one of the circles and see how it rotates ONLY ONCE throughout the entire animation and still helps create a complex final product...
