Measure Theory · Lesson
Fourier analysis lives naturally in L².
Measure Theory · Module overview
… Lebesgue measure extends, Probability for probability as integration against a measure, and Fourier Analysis for L² spaces and Plancherel's theorem.
Symmetry · Lesson
Diffraction Pattern The Fourier transform of a Penrose tiling's vertex set reveals sharp diffraction peaks with 10-fold rotational symmetry -- exactly what Shechtman observed in his groundbreaking 1982 experiment with rapidly cooled aluminum-manganese alloys.
Quantum · Module overview
See also: Linear Algebra for Hilbert spaces and operator eigenvalues, Fourier Analysis for the quantum Fourier transform behind Shor's algorithm, and Representation Theory for symmetry groups acting on quantum states.
Complex Analysis · Lesson
… Calculus: The residue theorem evaluates integrals in physics (Feynman diagrams), signal processing (Fourier transforms), and probability theory.
Quantum · Lesson
… insight: factoring reduces to period finding , which reduces to the Quantum Fourier Transform — a problem quantum computers solve efficiently.
Aperiodic Tilings · Lesson
A diffraction pattern is a Fourier transform, and the transform of a slice of a lattice is a projection of the reciprocal lattice — sharp spots, in impossible symmetries.
Sphere Packing · Module overview
… behind E₈, Information Theory for the codes that are secretly packings, and Fourier Analysis for the transforms that certify the upper bounds.

String Theory · Lesson
Pluck a string into any profile and it decomposes into a unique Fourier sum of modes — so much of mode 1, so much of mode 2, and so on.
