    Fourier transform with complex variables

    I found this formula in a paper: \int exp( \frac{x1 + i x2}{ \sqrt 2} \eta^* - \frac{x1 - i x2}{ \sqrt 2} \eta) D(\eta)/ \pi d^2 \eta the author calls it the Fourier transform of D. It is the first time thar i see this formula. How common is this notation? Can we use it without problem?

    MHB Solve Fourier Transform: f(t)=sin(2πt)/t

    I don't know if it is the right section to post in. I have a problem with a "simple" Fourier transform. This is the function to transform: $$f(t)=\frac{\sin\left({2\pi t}\right)}{t}$$. My first idea was to write that as $$\sin\left({2\pi t}\right)\cdot\frac{1}{t}$$ but then my fantasy crashed...
