Fourier analysis is not only an invaluable tool for solving equations, but it also gives us a very powerful insight into the physical world. I will try to explain the sheer significance of Fourier analysis to engineering by drawing on real world examples. I remember being a bit perplexed by...

Just dropping in with my own analogy here. Imagine a world where lakes are on islands floating above the ocean. A lake flow into a river, which flow downwards, decreasing the waters potential energy. I we were to put a drain in the middle of a lake, connected directly to the sea below, the water...

1. I gave myself the task of solving the indefinite integral of an exponential function whose base is any real valued constant and whose power is a logarithm of the variable I am integrating over. Now my question is not how to solve it, but rather, whether or not my approach was efficient. I've...
