I'm struggling in an application of Fourier transform.here is my problem:
a series of points from experimental data plotted as a cruve. I'm planning to do a Fourier transform to see how smooth the curve is? my question is: is it possible/useful to calculate the Fourier coefficients? if yes, how?
I appreciate for any tips or corrections.

Try the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). This will give you the harmonics you need for your discrete dataset.
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
