Fourier Analysis Program Documents

Main Document

Fourier Analysis Program 

written by Wolfgang Christian

The Fourier Analysis program displays the Fourier transform of a user-defined complex spatial function of position and time.   The default spatial function is a time-dependent complex Gaussian.  Additional parameters can be specified using the Display | Switch GUI menu item.  

Fourier Analysis is an Open Source Physics program written for the teaching of mathematical methods in the sciences.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.  Double clicking the math_fourier_analysis.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.  Other mathematical methods programs are also available.  They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Math.
