How long have you got?

Check amazon for any books by J O Bird

He produces many maths books for Electronics.

Hmmm, thanks! I think I got the jist of it anyway, although I don't think "It makes the wiggly thing look more square" will go down too well.

TRY THE MATHS FORUM - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?forumid=380

If you map an equation (that you can't do calculus etc., on) to a Fourier Series, you can then do calculus etc. on the series and then map the result back to what is in effect the answer to the equation.

It would be like asking someone to translate your homework into arabic, them giving it to another person to do then translating it back into english to hand back to you. (ie. the only way Europeans could have done algerbra during the dark ages.)
