From Alternating Current to the Fourier Transform - Journey in ten stages for evolved curious people #744196

               This book outlines a path that, in addition to providing the necessary foundation for dealing with the study of AC systems, allows an overview and an introduction to some of the powerful mathematical ideas and methods, fundamental to many areas of current science and technology.
               Thus it can be advantageously used as a bridge in the transition from high school mathematics to the higher and deeper level of dedicated university courses, which is why there are reminders and insights, gathered in "mathematical interludes," with which the reader is accompanied on the journey.
               Inspiring this somewhat unusual itinerary is the realization that "oscillations and sinusoids" −an old idea for the title− are really indispensable atoms of the scientific interpretation of the world, from the pendulum to the strange quantum "particles."
               Last but not least, the cultural aspect emerges, dedicated to those who I called " evolved curious people." Evolved because holding between two fingers the grain of their knowledge, they do not fail to see, in the background, the ocean of the unknown.
