Lecture by Professor Brad Osgood for the Electrical Engineering course, The Fourier Transforms and its Applications (EE 261). Professor Osgood's lecture addresses the question How can we use such simple functions, sin(t) and cos(t) to model such periodic phenomenon? He takes the students through the first steps in analyzing general periodic phenomenon.

The Fourier transform is a tool for solving physical problems. In this course the emphasis is on relating the theoretical principles to solving practical engineering and science problems.
