Homework Statement


So well, in class we were shown this equation for the Fourier transform:
http://puu.sh/nHsWo/042d1d01ba.png
First equation turns a function of time into frequency(notice there's no - in the exponent of e)
Second one does the opposite(notice there is a - in the exponent of e)

I searched online and found this video:

the first equation on the left transforms function of time into frequency but there is a - this time why so?
arent they meant to be the same

Brian Douglas's videos are great.

He is the only reason why I passed Modern Control Systems. I'd watch the videos and understand the material. Prof was useless.
