👉 Fourier transform is a mathematical tool used to analyze and manipulate periodic signals. It was developed by Fourier in 1822, who defined it as "the transformation from time domain (a function of time) to frequency domain (a function of frequency)". In simpler terms, the fourier transform takes an input signal and returns an output that can be represented as a sum of sine waves with frequencies corresponding to different periods of the original signal. This is useful for analyzing signals such as sound
