The most mind blowing intuitive explanation of any idea that I have come across on Internet yet. I 'm holding to this forever.

[@cai0_o]

This video is absolutely amazing.

[@MarkNewmanEducation]

Really glad you liked it. I wanted to explain it in the way I wish it had been explained to me all those years ago.

[@oskarfjortoft]

this is on my top 5 list of the greatest math-videos on youtube.

[@katikelasaikumar2379]

Ok so what are other .i was blown by this video so i am quite interested in your other four can you share

[@James_Hello]

This man is brilliant and needs his own TV show!!

[@ag_rfdesigner]

The most intuitive video on imaginary numbers I have ever seen on the internet. Your videos are just brilliant. Thanks and please keep up the good work.

[@ALP97477]

I just discover your channel thanks to KZbin algorithm (since I like this kind of subjects...) , I have to say that your videos are truly awesome, the way you help with the visual representation is incredible, it can explain complex thing is such an intuitive way ...Bravo

[@jacobbordelon3574]

Never heard a video emphasizing the fascinating world of signals and systems. Love to see some passion in educational EE videos. Thank you for sharing!

[@katikelasaikumar2379]

Came for imaginary number and fourier but got to know about negative number Fantastic i bow down to you with respect.

[@141592635eg]

I have to say I love the blues clues aesthetic of your videos. Being new to systems and signals and taking a class for it, this is a lifesaver.

[@k.k.skesava7561]

Blue clues aesthetic? (U speaking of the background?)

[@noahsalazar2738]

Thank you sir. This video is by far the best explanation of i that I have encountered on the Internet yet. Congratulations.

[@MarkNewmanEducation]

Wow, thanks!

[@moulinexish]

I did not expect to get this much feeling from a fourier transform explanation video.

[@John-hw2ys]

Finally I'm relieved from a great burden of not understanding yet compelled to use the imagery numbers ..thanks a lot ..

[@anasssofti9271]

I m working on image processing in Fourier domaine, and finally i did understand why the formula of FT is like this . Thank you so much !!!

[@MarkNewmanEducation]

Amazing. I'm so glad I was able to help you. Please share the video with anyone you feel it could help. If you're working with image processing, are you using 2D Fourier Transforms?

[@ItsMeTheUser]

The BEST channel explaining Signals and Systems.

Great work ! Keep on going, you shape the world with such outstanding presentation of normally high complex processes

[@talmidengineeringacademy1824]

You have done a good work that is going to be remembered by students around the world

[@MarkNewmanEducation]

If the material I am trying to teach is remembered and understood by students, then there can be no greater compliment to a teacher than that.

Please make more such videos. . It's extremely useful

[@MarkNewmanEducation]

Thank you. More videos on the way. The next video on how to interpret the output of an FFT is currently in production and I hope to release it at the beginning of May. Please add ideas for videos you would like to see in the comments so I can add it to my list.

[@DArnez-c5n]

I cannot thank you more... this video is the only video i can understand

[@MarkNewmanEducation]

AMAZING. I had such trouble understanding the concept of imaginary numbers back in my days as a student. It was only after working with them in my professional life for several years that the penny finally dropped. This video details my path to understanding.

[@kathrynt.3710]

I love your videos! I haven't learned any maths higher than integral calculus and I understand everything you discuss very well. I wish more people explained the basics as simply as you do; it makes understanding the more advanced things so easy. I feel like your videos are a series of stepping-stones that explain everything gradually. Wonderful channel!

[@Isysnation]

We need more of this ...

[@sirousmohseni4]

I have to watch all your videos. Thanks for presenting these topics so well that my old brain can follow.

[@gok_dogan]

14:38 Convolution of sine wave and Convolution of cosine wave are the two answers of the amplitudes of the cosine and sine wave . I need to produce sinusoid which,when convolved with the signal will give me the maximum score for this frequency. That's the key point why we use Fourier instead of Convolution.👌

BEST DESCRIPTION OF I EVER

[@showrovsheikh3562]

Really this video is very helpful to understand Fourier Transform. Thank u so much sir. If you make a video about Laplace Transform, we will be able to understand it clearly.

[@MarkNewmanEducation]

Thank you. Glad it was helpful. Laplace is definitely on my radar, but I need to get the the same level as my understanding of Fourier before I can release a video about it. The research continues.

[@sirajussalekinsami]

OUTSTANDING!!

[@gokhanuslu2704]

very much great video. thanks.

[@shacharstern8670]

Wonderful videos with great explanations. Could you please explain why do the real and imaginary results are the amplitudes of the cos and sine that together give the sinusoid with the maximum score for the given frequency?

[@SampleroftheMultiverse]

Very well done 👍 17:26

[@johnnixon1437]

you are the best

[@curtpiazza1688]

Great stuff! 😊

[@jiangxu3895]

Thank you so much for such great explanation of Fourier transformation, that I have never seen a second person explain the algorithm in this way. I started to learn some theory of x-ray crystallography 8 years ago, but never got the idea of the benefit of complexed sinosoid, and why the equation is true. I almost get the idea of how the aim is achieved with sinosoid with a certain phase that produce the maximum value when convolved with the signal, which represent the maximum contribution of the sinosoid with that frequency. However, I want to know why the statement at 14:33 is true, that the sine and cos wave with different amplitude, the same frequency and 0 phase difference, when each convolved with the signal, can produce a sinosoid with a certain phase, at which the maximum of the contribution of the sinosoid to the signal occur? Could you explain this part? 😅👍

[@vex18th]

@Jiang Xu you understood him wrong, first you get the sinusiod with the amplitude and phase by combining pure cosine and pure sine, and then with the resulting sinsuoid with phase shift you convolute with the original signal

[@jiangxu3895]

Hi, thanks for your explanation. I think my expression was not correct. I just want to know why this short cut is true that when using complexed sinosoid calculation shown starting from 14:33 , you dont' have to slide the sinosoid wave with a arbitary frequency against the signal wave to integrate and to get the maxima contribution from that arbitary sinosoid wave. I think this part was not mentioned in the video, Mark just used this method but didn't explain why it is true@@vex18th

[@gok_dogan]

@Paulancar unnecessary 😒answer

[@vex18th]

hi, great lectures, 14:32 shouldn't the real and imaginary parts of fourier transforms be divided by T/2 to get the amplitudes ?? my logic stems from the fact that Fourier Series is a special case (special form) of Fourier Transform , correct me if i am wrong greetings !!!

Nice explanation about the concept of i (rotation). May I ask, why only e to the i theta is spiral. What would be any number to the i theta looks like. In natural logarithm why we use the number e as base why it can't be pi i.e., log to the base pi . What is meaning of pi to the i theta

[@MarkNewmanEducation]

Interesting question. The special thing about Euler's number is it's relationship to sine and cosine as shown by Euler's formula which no other number shares. See my video on Euler's identity for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXzXnaJ4dtqDbZY

[@SAJAN_ECE]

I did not get the idea of shifting the sinusoidal by adding a sine and cosine with varying amplitudes. From where that concept came from ? That idea is not present in the actual Fourier Transform Equation.

[@MarkNewmanEducation]

It is implied in the equation by the fact that the result is a list of complex numbers. Each complex number in the list represents a sinusoid with a different frequency. The complex number, which consists of a real and imaginary part represents the magnitude of a cosine wave (the real part) and a sine wave (the imaginary part). Try adding together a sine wave and a cosine wave with the same frequency but different magnitudes in excel or MATLAB or some other software that allows you to do these sorts of operations. Look what happens to the phase of the resultant wave.

[@amansaxena7024]

I can finally see signals from Mathematic equations

The imaginary number is Not imaginary. It is Unimaginable, or inimaginable. It preserves the symbolic i. Ouf ! 😉

I'm wondering if the same can be said about division by 0. Could it be that division by 0, tan(90) and multiplying by +/-i are related?

U Shape Wave Thanks for your informative and well produced video. You and your viewers might find my quantum-like analog interesting and or useful. I have been trying to describe the “U” shape wave that is produced in my amateur science mechanical model in the video linked below. I hear if you over-lap wave together using Fournier Transforms, it may make a “U” shape or square wave. Can this be correct representation Feynman Path Integrals? In the model, “U” shape waves are produced as the loading increases and just before the wave-like function shifts to the next higher energy level. Your viewers might be interested in seeing the load verse deflection graph in white paper found elsewhere on my KZbin channel. Actually replicating it with a sheet of clear folder plastic and tape and seeing it first hand is worth the effort. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raOlpKSfepWpfZYsi=waT8lY2iX-wJdjO3

"In my last video" is a meaningless term until you number or date your videos and point us to the relevant menu.

In light of your comment, I've added a link to the playlist. However, there is already a link to the video I refer to in the description (as I mentioned in the video) and there is a card, timed with my mention, that links to the video which should appear in the top right hand corner.
