Citation issue
FYI: I'm seeing a red warning message: Harv error: link to #CITEREFHewittRoss1971 doesn't point to any citation.
I dont have time to fix it now, but I thought Id post a notice. --Noleander (talk) 21:37, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Overemphasis on time as a variable
The article begins:
- "expresses a mathematical function of time as a function of frequency, known as its frequency spectrum"
Throughout time is emphasized, although in fact the transform applies to a function of any variable whatsoever. Most noticeably, the Fourier transform applies to functions of distance, and allows expansions in terms of components characterized by wavevector.
The article does contain the section on space, but this minor consideration does not convey the generality of the method, which should be made apparent at the beginning. Brews ohare (talk) 15:15, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
A very general discussion is found here in terms of distributions and test functions. Brews ohare (talk) 15:47, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
