Fourier optics — is the study of classical optics using techniques involving Fourier transforms and can be seen as an extension of the Huygens Fresnel principle. The underlying theorem that light waves can be described as made up of sinusoidal waves, in a manner… … Wikipedia
Fourier transform spectroscopy — is a measurement technique whereby spectra are collected based on measurements of the temporal coherence of a radiative source, using time domain measurements of the electromagnetic radiation or other type of radiation.It can be applied to a… … Wikipedia

Fourier analysis — In mathematics, Fourier analysis is a subject area which grew out of the study of Fourier series. The subject began with trying to understand when it was possible to represent general functions by sums of simpler trigonometric functions. The… … Wikipedia
Fourier theorem — In mathematics, the Fourier theorem is a theorem stating that a periodic function f ( x ), which is reasonably continuous, may be expressed as the sum of a series of sine and cosine terms (called the Fourier series), each of which has specific… … Wikipedia
Fourier, Charles — (1772 1837) philosopher, economist The son of a wealthy merchant, Charles Fourier was born in Besançon, where he also studied at the university. In 1799, he began to write on politics and economics, and his first large work, Théorie des… … France. A reference guide from Renaissance to the Present
Discrete Fourier transform — Fourier transforms Continuous Fourier transform Fourier series Discrete Fourier transform Discrete time Fourier transform Related transforms In mathematics, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is a specific kind of discrete transform, used in… … Wikipedia
Uncertainty principle — In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that locating a particle in a small region of space makes the momentum of the particle uncertain; and conversely, that measuring the momentum of a particle precisely makes the… … Wikipedia
Uniform boundedness principle — In mathematics, the uniform boundedness principle or Banach–Steinhaus theorem is one of the fundamental results in functional analysis. Together with the Hahn–Banach theorem and the open mapping theorem, it is considered one of the cornerstones… … Wikipedia
